That bridge is simplistic design. Take parts, use with visual intent. Nice.

Thanks Erasmo. Got the springs and door hinge from the hardware store and had a arm and spring claw from a Strat in my parts bin. The bridge bolt rolls within the nuts when using the tremolo. I glued the nuts in place so the bolt would move.

Thanks Uncle John. Neck and fretboard are Red Oak stained Ebony and a couple coats of Truoil. The fret markers are made from a white plastic coat hanger. The neck has a 3/8ths steel rod inside for reinforcement. The headstock was a stab at the Snakehead style. Had to use the string retainers to get the right break angle over the nut and bridge.

That is different, neat and well done.  Great job on the fretboard, string guide and head stock.

Thanks Chris, it turned out as good as any fulcrum style trem. Use it much and loose the tuning. LOL
