No. 8 Wire Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Someone is bidding though! Unusual bridge, strange cross between a 51 style and a musicman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 It could be just the perspective in the photo, but that fret spacing looks mighty odd. Obviously a homemade neck. Perhaps the 'luthier' just cut the slots where he felt like it and hammered in the wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Normal convention is to have the truss rod slot under the fretboard, not poking out of the rear of the neck. Firewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I want this. I'm not even kidding. That's a Squier Bronco bridge and I need one for my Kay I've just restored as it's 17mm spacing. He can save on postage by burning the rest and sending me the bridge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With £15 postage I didn't really want to go much more than the one pound opening bid. What the hell do people see in this shite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like cheap shiny repro ones to me though, a certain connoisseur of vintage basses from faraway lands might know. I actually have a tele style 2 saddle bridge from an old Kay in my parts box but just checked and it's standard Fender spacing. You're welcome to it if you want, it's horrible though.

Stub Mandrel Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 How on earth is the neck attached. It seems longer underneath as if there's no tongue under it and the body is recessed? What a car crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned "projects" like this always amaze me from the perspective that they can progress so far before the person finally realises they lack any of the necessary ability, understanding, competence, skill, or any grasp of basic proportions and aesthetics. Or, evidently, any appropriate tools or materials. Or presumably even one of those free paper tape measures from Ikea. I'm finding the back view a little upsetting. It's been nailed together, hasn't it? With actual nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think they are just screw holes. I notice its has 'plate was lost' written on what I thought was the end of the neck, but looking closely the grain shows it's a through neck.
