Don't be like that. There hasn't been a space thread in over a week and OT has been just dull without them.

Yall had your chance with me but ya blew it.

I have mixed feelings on that babicz bridge. Sounds great, which is the most important thing. Feels amazing too.

Stop bar studs didn’t fit though which is kinda bullshit, plus the gold is a pretty gross version of gold imo. Kinda pukey

What guitar did you put it on? And if the studs didn't fit did you have to order a different set? I saw step up sizes but none of that fits the standard vintage type arrangement. Sucks about the gold but I'm all ears eyes for pics and clips. Thanks for getting back to me on that, much appreciated. You didn't waste much time on the install.....
 
If I don't report back to Rig-Talk you'll know what happened.

It will be in the 70's but partly cloudy. I'm more about the cool shadows and the critters coming out than actually staring at the sun. But then, it's all a hoax anyway right?

On a Les Paul. You think it would be pretty standardized. Added new knobs and gold pickups too.
I ended up just residing the stick chrome posts which doesn’t look terrible, just annoying

Also the tail piece is so close to the bridge that I can’t fit the hex key between them to intonate. Looks like I’ll have to make a tool for it

I don't know if the spacing is the same, close enough to work, on Edwards/Epiphone?

Looks great though. Can you top wrap the tailpiece or is it too blocky?

The best part is you did right and got the gold one.

I tried it on an import Les Paul copy and while the threads all matched, the width was slightly off. Go figure. At least it only cost me $100

Those are some of my fav pickups though. Mick from Manlius up in New York State puts out some great stuff. Those are the “vinyls”

So no-go on the import then. It's a great looking guitar. I would just wear all the gold finish off anyways so even if it's kinda cheap it wouldn't matter to me in the long game, just long as it's gold.

I hope you haven't been working too much but I have my suspicions. Next year this time I expect you have a band together so you can hit all those good seasonal Berkshire gigs and be makin' some sweet moolah while you do it.:)

I watched a special on what they thought Musk's plans for colonizing Mars were. Pretty epic and logical. I would go. I'm fine with a one way ticket off this rock. I would prefer my kids raised first though. I'm 52 and got some health issues and don't give no fucks at all. I would plant a cross on that dustball and claim in the the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Cause fuck it that's why. And then I'd put a Trump for warlord of Barsoom flag up just to fucking troll the earthlings. And then lets not forget..."all your base are belong to us..."
