Hey Chris,

It is good to see you back. That is looking sweet. I like the bridge. How are you attaching the strings on this one? Are they going through the body or is there part we can’t see?

How long have you been working on that guitar?

John

Oop, yeah it should be back the distance of the 14th fret. Good eye, good thing there is only a little FP finish on it that a little sanding will fix.
That could have become a headache forsure. Thanks Tom!
John once glued down it will get piano wire pins set into and through the bridge plate that the string ball heads will slip over.
How long? Not sure but haven't done any work on it since Nov. 2010.

Great Work Chris! I like the piano wire string locks on a bridge.
