A Custom Made Guitar

Ok ... awesome job !

Now ...

1)we don't want that grub screw sticking out .... may get bloddy with aggressive players?! Since the adjustment is minimal keep it within the bridge material.
2)the post may need a radial slot for reducing grub screw friction. Grub screw may need to be ball ended too.
3)Now with that locking mechanisim you may need to supply a spanner...look at self locking possibilities .. ;)

thats it for now....

again ...awesome ! :)
 
@phil: it's serving me well, i'm glad i took the chance and thanks to eclipze for making such a wonderful block. Never knew a tremolo block can make a difference, even though it's subtle but i noticed the sound is more balanced. :)
 
sorry been busy all the time....

@1mband thnks... yea ... now the wraparound stoptail is on my friend now

@goose ... its not a problem with an aggressive player :) ill try to reduce the height for the grub screw yep ill try making it has a ball ended ... yess the spanner..
