Oooooo, that was fun! You're going to have one handsom looking geetahr there! I really like your signature bridge shape. How'd you arrive at it--trial and error? Pencil and a big eraser? Divine inspiration?CarltonM39112.8383680556

Very Nice Serge!

I hope this posting pic thing is solved soon, I am having 2 of my latest guitars photo'd by a pro (who is a friend) before I send them to their new owners.

Mike

Many thanks everyone!

Thanks Bruce, will lutealayeeeeeeoooo soon!

Charlie, the whole set(fret press caul and all the brass inserts) cost me around a $120.00 US last year but if you count all the brass inserts that are there, you'll see that i can use it on many types of instruments, John's craftmanship is really top noth and so is his service, at that price, it was not expensive at all! Thanks dude

Danny, i used curly white ash B and sides from BobC, WRC top from Shane, ebony bindings and rope purflings from our pal Russell Rose in the UK. The neck is simply mahog on both sides of a maple center lamination. The rosette has an EIR outline, rope purf, maple in the center and b/w/b. The fretboard is cocobolo with maple and coco bindings, headplate veneers are coco as well. Thanks Danny!

Thanks Dave buddy!

Thanks Dale, yes, my very first soundport!

Thanks Peter!

Thanks Carlton, was inspired by Alain Desforges' design but still wanted mine a little different so that i could say that i designed something! If you remember, on no 2, i added a purple heart nose to the front of the EIR bridge but i won't add a nose this time, i think it can still be viewed the same way without it. So i just drew it on paper, cut it and glued the design on plexiglass and cut the template with the bandsaw, smoothed the edges with sandpaper. i now use that template to draw the shape grossly and cut it shy of the lines, the drum sander helps me shape the rest down.


Thanks Dave, Hesh, Ron and Mike!

Looks great, nice wood combinations.

Thanks Marc!
