Here's a short demo of it I recorded about 12 years ago that I looked up tonight and uploaded to SoundCloud. It's the lead guitar on the track. Gear is a SansAmp GT2 British Clean setting and DOD FX96 analog delay direct into a mixer.

If your only going to play one note at a time then bad intonation with a slide is alright. As soon as you start playing cords or two note slides you'll notice it wont be in tune. Hope that guitar plays as awesome as it looks! Great save!

Looking to find a tune-o-matic or abr1 bridge to fit the posts. Still have to drill out all the pick guard screws. I was able to get the jack back up threw the hole. But it's still really loose.

Have you looked at Guitarfetish.com for a bridge?

Not as bad as some that I've seen over the years. I think we all do something like this in our younger days.

Had a Chevy Nova when I was 16. It had a nice blue paint job on it, but I had to spray it primer gray because that was the in/cool thing of the day. That was dumb.

My Global plays like a dream. Good jumbo frets. Well made and radiused fretboard. Truss rod. Really really bad bridge. Right now the pickups are really high so I can't lower the strings. There also looks to be a slight upward bend in the neck. Will have to wait till I drill out the pick guard, lower the pickups and get a better bridge. Then I'll tackle the light bend.

Awesome look Anonymous.

Finally got around to taking some measurements. This bridge is really narrow. Only 64MM from post to post. Or just about 2 1/2 inches. Way smaller than any adjustable bridge I've found so far. I'd have to re drill for new posts. The top loading hardtail is starting to sound like a better idea. It's also closer to the string spacing. Only off by a few MM. I would just need a really small sliver of wood between it and the body. Probably best to screw it down and not go floating. Getting rid of the wammy is not a problem. Wouldn't use it anyway.
