Evening all,
Good things are meant to be shared. So here are some select pictures of my spanking-new, custom-made bridge made by Andi (eclizpe). I wanted to upload more but it's really troublesome to resize and upload so many pictures.
The bridge-plate is made of stavac steel. Frankly, I have no idea what is stavac steel. But according to Andi, stavac steel is one of the strongest, hardest and most dense material around and is ideal for a bridge-plate.
Well, I take his word for it. The master knows what he's doing.
The trem-block is made of brass, and it's coated to prevent oxidation. It's pretty much as heavy, thick and solid as it will ever get. Can you spell 'sustain'?
The trem-arm's tension can be adjusted via an allen-wrench. Very clever idea, and very well executed. And if you look carefully, you can see my name engraved onto the bridge-plate itself, in the area under the trem-arm.
The main reason why I went to Andi for a custom bridge is that I could not find a replacement bridge for this project of mine. The screw placements are just too 'special', that no commercial aftermarket parts fit.
In hindsight, I am so glad that I took this route because this bridge that I have now is nothing short of a dream to work with.
The amount of thought, care, attention and hard-work that went into creating this beautiful bridge leaves me in awe. And it has also been an utmost pleasure dealing with someone as humble, earnest and inquisitive as Andi, and also in the process making a like-minded and life-long friend.
So guys, if you ever need any custom parts done. You know who to approach.
Enough talk, enjoy the pictures!
From the drawing board,
To production,
Almost done,
