Fess up, that's a floyd set up.

I completely missed that. What the heck is going on over there @baimun ?

I have so many builds going on all the time... and until the roof and outside walls are done on the Shed-io, I don't have much in the way of free time to work on them. :(

That's a fat strat neck that will end up a gigging companion to my Thorn.

The body is a robin's egg blue strat with a John Mann trem installed... but I haven't decided on which pickguard and electronics combo to use. I've been debating between P-90's, Humbuckers, or maybe my old standard of a Humbucker in the bridge, single (of some sort) in the neck, and one knob.... pull for split+neck, or press down for bridge humbucker.

You know, that's not really what we're curious about.

Oh... the reverse string feed? hahaha... yeah....

Floyd Rose... no fine tuners.... Normally I use locking tuners, but when you feed the strings in backwards, lock them at the saddles, you don't even need to do THAT. Won't slip and no sharp pokey ends when I reach up to the headstock for my Capo.

Ahhhhhhhh

 

[baimun]

Yeah, that's one of the oldest bridges I own.... from back before Govan asked them to reissue the bridge and they started using them on the Charvels. I want to say there was a good 10 years you couldn't get the bridge without the fine tuners and lock nut.

Not much to contribute but I will say the difference between a hardtail strat bridge and a telecaster half bridge is sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain. Same guitar. Different bridges. No comparison.

Wait... which one sustains better?


Normally a tele bridge with rounded saddles will kill some sustain... but my half tele bridge has wilkinson compensated saddles (Edit: you have the exact same one and same saddles) which have a sharper edge and it sustains better than strat or roller bridges.

That Schaller bridge has mass, but it looks to have roller saddles which are sustain killers in my experience.

no contest. The Schaller is a monster. The Wilkinson tele bridge had weak sustain. The Schaller is a whole different league. Not really roller saddles. They are laterally adjustable on a threaded rod.
