Re: Babicz FCH Bridges?
That's a heck of a design...functionally gorgeous. That guy really has a lot of thought into his design.
As far as the aesthetics go, I don't find it objectionable at all.
Yeah, if you don't like the huge logo on the tail piece of the tom, just use a standard tailpiece and just buy the bridge.
The biggest objection is the price. Holy cow!! Nearly $200...4 times what I currently pay.

If you check around Ebay you can find them NIB for good prices. Babicz is also announcing a Z Series at Summer NAMM that will have a lower price point.
I love these bridges. I am more than impressed with the Stratocaster replacements. At this stage of the game I don't think I would play a Telecaster without a Babicz on it.

That's just the SRP. Street for a chrome strat bridge is under $150.

Made $100 on the 4th that's almost a bridge for the Vox Securb! PITA but it has wraparound on it now so will need a fill and drill. Still can't figure out if it is a swimming pool route til I change the strings( 3 mini hum ooooh!) I would go with the higher end bridge Mutt , I never trust anything that is made to be cheaper ! Jeff will have a sale this summer unless it just ended , he does that often.

Re: Babicz FCH Bridges?
I have only done one 2 point Strat install and it is wonderful , I have not played it since the strings were broken in so I don't have a great opinion on how well it stays in tune.I have only heard good things about it from the owner and the luthier he took it to for a refret. Someone around here has a 6 point trem on one I am sure too.I know Securb is a big fan of them too , he is putting one on the tmrzoo.com build now.

Re: Babicz FCH Bridges?
I'm with you.
It's a great concept. I'd try one out. It's chock full of features.
It's just not great looking... to me.
Plus the name reminds me of those businesses that add a "Z" to their name to be cool or hip. Granted, it's the guys name, it just reminds me of that. It's a peeve of mine-- replacing an "s" with a "z" at the end of a word.
Damn kids. Ba-humbug.

Re: Babicz FCH Bridges?
I will throw my endorsement out there; I have used the Tele model and it was a nice bridge. They are easy to intonate, set the string height, and best of all lock into position. If I got another Tele, that would be the first upgrade I would do.
