Truly Strings

Running out of work bench for this Kirk Hammit V. I like the inlay. Reminds me of the gravitational pull of a black hole. The sparkle flake finish looks very outer-spacey too.

Dear Fender,
Before lawyers, there were luthiers.
Before Fender, there was Bigsby.
Before Bigsby, there was Stauffer.

Feel free to share..

MIJ Greco single cut arrived for a new tune-o-matic bridge and set up. The original bridge was made from various alloys and cast, functional and cost effective but prone to collapse under tension. The aftermarket TOM is milled from solid metal, offers a brass saddle option, and features a relic finish matching the patina of the tailpiece and pup covers. Now this guitar plays beautifully, just like its stunning burst.

Evertune assembly took some head scratching and deep belly breathing but this one does in fact djent once again. Not much holding the mechanisms in place other than spring steel and intonation screws.

1980s MIJ Ibanez Roadstar Series II missing a few locking nut screws which was causing the little metal plates to rattle around. They were probably abandoned at some point because it is a funky design. Replacements are M3x8mm.
