Very nice! One of these is on my GAS list.

Very nice!

Should be a straight swap with no issues. Let us know how it turns out!

I'm guessing that all the anti-slappers won't be queing up to see Mr King then? I don't care about the noise, the crowds or anything else - it's a bloody good day out and a chance for me to catch up with my old school friend who I only see once or twice a year.

Get someone else to do it if you aren't confident but it's basically a matter of drilling out the old dots (to a depth of around 4mm) with a woodworking bit and superglue'ing the rod in place. Cut it off 1mm or so above the surface and then file/sand the ends down once you've done all the dots. Use lots of masking tape when filing/sanding and take it slow. Polish with 0000 grade wire wool.

If you go to your local sign shop they will cut you out a sheet of vinyl dots in your choice of colour and size. They are very thin and they stick for ever but are easily removed if required. I've had custom 'inlays' printed and have clear-coated over the top of them with great success. Worth a thought if you fancy it - and they won't charge a fortune.

Very nice!

Sweet pics!

Yep, what Woodster said

'High Mass' bridges are a bit of a con. We're attracted to them because they look all lovely and chunky, like a fat little puppy but in actual fact the mass of the thing makes very little difference. Babicz are an exception as they have re-designed their saddles so that more of the string is in contact with the saddle. How much difference this actually makes in the real world though I don't know. You could probably tell the difference with an oscilloscope and some crocodile clips attached to your downstairs parts though. Now if the actual bridge plate had a larger surface area (not mass), this [u]could[/u] make a difference, as would having the strings through the body and anchored in the back.

Show us when it turns up! We like glowing things.

You and me both dude. I blame that little fella from Minneapolis...

Japanese too, which counts for a lot in my book

One of the best pickguards I ever bought was a Stentor red tort. Not cheap by any means but very nicely made.

Buy a clear one and print your own background.

Nicely done!

Stunning! Congrats

This is giving me Plum GAS right now - and that's not always a good thing! [URL=http://s51.photobucket.com/user/howardtjmoon/media/top_zps88c91324.jpg.html][IMG]http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f369/howardtjmoon/top_zps88c91324.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
