Maybe for your next project, you could start by chopping down the trees yourself!
Seriously speaking, other than really chopping the trees and getting the wood, the whole guitar was DIY-ed! Good stuff! Hope to see the finished product real soon. Good luck and have fun! Perhaps custom amplifier next project?

thanks white ..
i really waiting for this advice
... may be i'll add +/- 2or3 mm more on the back of the bridge trem & i'll reduce the string saddle length a lilttle .. so it has more spaces to move :mrgreen:
its not a brass.. its a Stavac steel from ASSAB .. and it can't rust .. it has a nice gloss/mirror surface when u polished it ... i currently run out of brass material... may be next one .. i'll make from a brass.. goldie looks
in my experience working with metal... a brass material is easy to get oxidation when it attaches to human sweats .. & it will turn to blue/green colored and dirt at the spot.. i'll try workin on it next time..

I think in this aspect, maybe making a bigger bridge space is better than reducing saddle length? I dunno, but would loss of material from saddle result in a thinner tone?
Yes, brass oxidises... But I think if it's properly coated, it might work well? How does PRS do it?

a thinner tone ...umm, a tiny, slightly no differences in tone i think, but i've given it a slot.. so the saddles will move steadily forward and backward only & stay still on their place.. it can't move to left or right... this will improve the rigidity and the tone ...
White.. u wanna try mine?
he he but u need to replace the bolts .. 'coz i made my trem can move up and down .. it would be nice if u were here to try it ...yes, u were right, it's properly coated... so it wont get oxidation when a sweaty hand touches it
or u can make it from iron than coated it in gold color (<< this one is the reason why its more expensive on the market than the silver/chrome color... for coating it in gold needs more penny
)

Of course I'd love to try it... If the finish product is as fantastic as it promises to be, I'd save a lot of money by asking you to make a custom from me than to order it from the US!!!!:mrgreen:

that trem looks pretty much spot on to a mannmade trem that the early prs was using.
alternatively for a more solid less moving parts kinda feel you could take cue from the wilkinsons which feature lock down saddles which prevent them from moving after being intonated. and u could also take note of the vigier bridges which use a ball bearing fulcrum rather that the traditional knife edge which can wear out.
