Random Guitarist Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I made one, possibly in a minority as I did use an overlord of music bridge. TBH it's fine as well, once the threads are greased. I did start another to incorporate what I learned, but life gets in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH it's fine as well, once the threads are greased. I did start another to incorporate what I learned, but life gets in the way. You must be lucky then! My doubleneck had stripped threads on the adjuster claws - the claws are made of cheese and the adjuster bolts are heavy(er)-duty M4 (or is it 6) bolts with a knurled knob attached to the end. I got a replacement Overlord bridge and it was badly made, so the claws wouldn't fit into the recess, so it couldn't be tuned. I managed to make one functional unit, but the adjusters graunched at the back of the bridge assembly and putting in washers/bearings meant the adjuster screws weren't long enough. The guitar trem bridge's spring was way too powerful for the rest of the unit and the only way to be able to tune it was to lock it in place with the little latch underneath and ditch the trem functionality. It's now got a Spirit (or Hohner) bass bridge and a hardtail guitar bridge from a chap in Ireland. (Oh, and those "EMG"s aren't!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never intended to build a headless but I was given some torrefied Obeche, weighed very little so neck dive was a concern . Solution presented itself when I recalled playing a Hohner for 5 minutes at the 88 BMF 🙂 Compared to fitting mono saddles the O.o.M. was a piece of p!ss. Bass turned out nicely, still going strong nearly 4 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH89 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 I built one a while ago . I used a system from Nova guitars https://novaguitarparts.com.br/produtos/ Superbly engineered parts . Andre is a gent to deal with and may even be a member on here . I think he is on the other place . The system is now with @rwillett who can probably give you a few pointers .
