Have you looked at the Lightning bridge? It slopes upwards so that the strings exit the tailpiece higher up. No need to top wrap for clearance, so you don't trash your stoptail finish. I thought about this one time, but these guys already did it. https://lightningguitars.com/ They're located in Hampshire UK.

It sounds like he's a convert! He walks in to a store, plays a 530, and buys it on the spot and then adds a CC 535 later. Way cool!

did a little digging. This may be a custom H530??? Turns out his touring lead player relies heavily on a H-530. https://guitar.com/features/interviews/fretbuzz-noah-levine/

Here's the photo

error: neck is of course bound.

The Grammy's. Haven't watched intentionally ever. Caught a few minutes back in the day when my kids were teens. Since getting re-married, I share my home with a 17 yr old HS senior, so it was on. I stayed in another part of the house, came into the kitchen, noticed Noah Kahan was playing, who I know and appreciate, and wouldn't you know, it's a music video prominently featuring a SB triple nickel with the pickguard in black. A rare guitar even amongst us fanboys. You figure there were 15 - 20 million viewers and Kahan is selling out stadiums these days. He's known for his semi fetish, but his go to is typically a Guild Starfire of Fender Coronado, with the occasional Fender Starcaster, or 335 thrown in, this is when he's not playing high end acoutstics. edit to add: looking at this I'm thinking it's an older custom? has block inlays and a headstock inlay but neither the headstock or neck are bound and the hardware is silver. Pawn shop find? It was a music video, not a live performance. He's lounging in the back of a Volvo stationwagon as it makes its way.

Yeah, I already now that. But some people here, as I already read changed the pinnacle bridge to an faber ABR-1 Style because the bridge is smaller and the string wont hit the back anymore.

Bridge Type Approx. Length ABR‑1 (ABR) Shorter, narrower footprint Vintage design; limited saddle travel; lighter. Nashville Longer, wider footprint Modern design; more intonation range; larger body and saddle slots. Farber is ABR-1 sized. You can also top wrap the stop tail for better clearance, but the disadvantages are scaring the surface and if your style has your palm scraping over the strings, not too comfortable. Nashville bridges are physically longer because the housing is wider and the saddles have more room to move. ABR‑1 bridges are more compact, which is why vintage Gibson spacing and post locations differ from Nashville-equipped guitars.

Hi, I cant get my stoptail high enough so the strings always touch the back of the bridge on my custom core stock bridge. Is there a smaller faber bridge that would fit? Do I need anything else for it then?

On that note: I don't understand the primes of the posters question. I have a natural fret of being tackled, but can't quite wrap my mind around tackling a threat. Superbowl predictions?

Messaged you Brent! Thanks!

I have a set of chrome HRWS if anyone needs one

Sweet 16 in an excellent 3 piece combo playing a steak house gig. Reddish sunburst with split parrelelograms. Picture to follow.

Maybe a Jim Beam…..

My 2011 cherry 137 has a huge neck also

Galloup in Big Rapids charges around $200 for a plek. I would do it myself with a beam and a radius block.

PSA: Rich Severson has a great deal going on right now. You pay $200 for yearly subscription to his entire library of songs and lessons and now he is including with that subscription, access to his Wednesday YouTube streams (meaning you sit in on the stream via Zoom and interact with him and the YT audience) plus he now has a Thursday Zoom session for subscribers only where he's available for questions. It's really a good deal. He's been at this a long time so some of the video lessons my be a little lesser quality from a visual or audio standpoint but the content is outstanding. No, I'm not getting paid to say this I'm just letting you know of something that I think is a really good deal.

I could use a pair of HRW's myself if you have them

👍

Pete said that the Plek machine is fully booked, just with their production. I think he might have said they run on weekends sometimes. There's no time for outside work.

Oh no mister. I asked. Got told no.

Here’s your fret tapping tool!

Just take it to 225 Parsons St. and it might be less expensive too
