Is it to much to ask if you can maesure how high is the bridge?

I'll measure it tomorrow. I'll get max and minimum heights for you.

I don't know if it would work with a bigsby without an angled neck. I suspect not as the Mustang and Jazzmaster have flat necks.

Would a Jaguar HH TOM work better...as they come with a 9.5 radius neck

[johsonrod]

Thanks man! I say go for it! Im thinking of doing a couple more and puttin em up for sale, somethin different you know. Maybe keep one solid even.

Here's some pics in daylight with pup covers in place. These give a better idea of the colour and grain.




And here is William, our tame magpie after inspecting the guitar. Unfortunately i wasn't quick enough to photograph him right up close to the guitar having a good look.


William keeps me company in the car port while i work on the guitar.

Woot! He hasn't stolen any shiny chrome bits yet?!! Tame magpie indeed!

And, lovely work, if I haven't said so already.

Thanks.

William adopted us about 4 years ago. He hasn't taken anything, though his children are a different matter. My wife has some plastic frogs on rocks in the back garden. The baby magpies move them around. The magpies prefer them to be placed in the middle of some steps. We put them back and the magpies keep moving them!

I've been sanding this morning and William's been keeping me company.

William is a beautiful bird. I'm an avid bird lover. My African Grey Parrot, Daisy loves to hear me play acoustic and she even sings along a lot of the time. She flew away last summer and was gone for a day (which felt like a month). I was walking a few streets over the next morning looking for her at dawn (one of her most vocal times) and heard someone in the woods singing one of my songs. It was her, so I scooped her up and brought her home. I'm very glad she learned it or we would have never got her back.

I'm glad you had a happy ending.

I think William tamed us. When we're outside he comes and spends time with us. If we have any work done around the property he watches the tradesmen from a distance and as soon as they leave he comes down and examines what they've done.

ah man I had an african grey for most of my life, he too adopted me when I was about 13. The door bell rang and the neighbor said "This pigeon has been on your porch" and as he said the the bird walked into the house and told us his name was Joey. We of course were obliged to put ads in the paper but no one ever called. I had him by my side until I was 30 and my firstborn child became mobile. The Grey hated him and we feared our kid losing a finger so he ended up going to a friend of the family that loved birds. Joey just died last year. ...... stupid bird. (I think I got something in my eye..you guys carry on now ..sniffle sniffle )

I didn't check the radius of the mustang bridge before i ordered it. . I got it because it is the prefered replacement for jazzmasters. oh well... it plays well.

Here's the bridge measumements. I took the measurments at the G string saddle.

Highest - 26.20 mm
Lowest - 12.56 mm

And a pic of the bridge.

Its hilarious that he just walked in the house and introduced himself. I'm sorry he's gone.
