Quick pic of the next project
Just a rubbish phone picture, but you get the idea. I've just roughly cut the body out so I thought I'd share!! It's mahogany, explorer shaped,
7-string
, maple Carvin neck with an ebony board, and I'm gonna get Tim at
Bareknuckle
pickups to re-wind the single coils to a Sinner bridge and Trilogy suite neck (just about the hottest single coils on the planet). More pics as I get more done!!

If I remember correctly I think it's a gotoh bridge (I bought it a while ago) - it's just like a strat fixed bridge, so each saddles action's adjusted with two little threaded bolts and an allen key.

Re: Quick pic of the next project
For some reason the only real fixed bridge I can tolerate is the Tune-o-matic ones, I don't know why but the Strat or other fixed bridge styles feel to weird

Re: Quick pic of the next project
Please, if you're gonna do a swirl on an Explorer do it something like the new S series Ebony swirl :

Re: Quick pic of the next project
IMO, most swirls don't look good, so to swirl something with a body shape like that would be atrocious...maybe not that far, but still pretty bad

Finally someone with taste. Swirls are like just adding every spice in the cabinet into your stew. Confusion of flavors and no direction. Sure it has a taste but it ain't a good one.

Re: Quick pic of the next project
. . . . like when you're getting a slushie at Macs and decide for some insane reason to put some of each flavour in. Worst idea ever. (especially when you add in something like sour apple)
