CBG # 2

This build sounds totally different then build #1. Stainless steel bridge allot more sensitive than the Corian bridge that I used on my first.I will have to make a video soon so you all can hear.

Yes almost too bright I probably should have wired in a tone control also, but I can simmer it down a bit with my amp controls.

@Jim, I'm not sure steel is "better", but its definitely "brighter".  I think it works better for most of my builds.  But, I've made a few with stainless soundboards (fuel doors) that I put corian saddles on to counteract some of the brightness of the stainless.

Didn't realize how much brighter the sound is with the steel bridge.

I gave up on corian bridges a while back in favor of steel - better sound to my ear.  Love corian for the nut, tho.

Did I mention that head stock is fantastic?
