Made two bridges out of a chunk of 4" brass stock we have on hand. I cut the slice out back in November, been milling on the two half's off and on since then.

One I made the saddles out of three key blanks, the other I salvaged from a spare TOM..

I don't have a scale available, they both feel near equal. I have around 1/16" less material around the stud mount ends with the one on the right. I wasnt really able to drill/tap for adjustment screws. I was thinking the saddles would take up enough when setting intonation. But it now turns out I have more work to do on that. The one on the left looks better and ought to work well. I'm using this one for the sunburst sg.

Looks great - nice work.

So what does each control do? And what combinations does the pickup selector switch yield?

silver-soldered some more brass on the backside, was able to drill/tap some 6/32 screws for adjustment. Cleaned up, and dialed in.

Now that’s a Tele I could get on board with.

Although I do prefer a rosewood board over maple.

That was the before picture [emoji23]


I know this is the Guitar Shop, but I’m working on this too.
Paid $100 for it. Celestian G12K-85’s.
Sounds awesome!

It will match my newly retolexed Redbear.

Almost finished, Mahogany and Spruce semi-hollow Tele with an Allparts Maple and Rosewood neck. Pickups are made by Gemini, a maker in NY. First time using a Goldfoil pickup—absolutley love it!
