dude really. thanks so much. this is a great piece of work. im a detail guy. so i guess that's why your bridges always draw my eye when i look at your builds. thanks again mate
Richie , I got my bridge today !!! awesome man even better in person thanks so much. I have a flat pup that i used from Dan sleep for r and d that he let me keep we aI am gonna use it and your bridge as a base for a personal build for me cause they are bits that are special to me. thanks again mate !! long live the queen ! ?
Thanks very much...sorry about the hassle with the post...out of my control I'm afraid. I've tried other companies, and have already given up on one of them, and the i hear about the service from Hermes are pretty bad.
Hi Richey Not much chance of that, i can build 'em, set 'em up and sell/gift but my playing is derisory, enjoy the 'dulci' tho'. see you're putting one together. The pup has a real mellow tone, got it hooked up with 250k pots. sounds great through- my amps - Pignose. Peavey Backstage both gifts, a 60s WEM Clubman a fiver from a charity shop and a Microcube which i got through a trade with the lovely Jamie MacBlues. You should be selling these, I'd be up for a 4 pole later this year...many thanks again John..

Hi Richey
Thanks for the comment on the fingerboards.
The rings were cut using a router,but I have also used this home made hole cutter.The blade is a sharpened piece of broken hacksaw blade
