Bought this old Memphis Explorer-style guitar for $70 and I'm going to build a Marvel Comic guitar for a Christmas present. The pickups work (they look like Ibanez Dimarzio style pups) but the bridge is wacked, the tuners are missing, and electronics are old and not working. The bridge is nuts, take a look!
I've never seen a trem bridge with no actual block!
Getting strings into this is going to be a challenge I think once the trem is installed. It will be decked so not worrying about the usage of the actual "tremolo". But really odd!
Of course all the screws are rusty or corroded and half didn't want to come out. I had to use the vise-grips on one of the bridge screws. I may need to use the Dremel on the two small screws holding the output jack. (see below)
Question... does anyone have any extra of these Korean tuners? They are cheapest of the cheap and used on a lot of the old Korean 90s/2000s guitars and now being used in some Epi low-budget models. The guitar only came with 4 and I have extras from older projects but I don't have the push-in bushings. Thought some of you may have some old ones lying around. Any old crappy 6-screw tremolo bridges out there too??
I'll keep you updated on this project. THANKS!
