That looks like it turned out wonderful! In a nice short time frame. Shell pink is such a sweet color choice. I like em w/ Tort too. I feel like I remember Rick O'Casek from The Cars playing a pink Jazzmaster or Jag in a video when I was a kid... Congrats on the build . You have quite a few more colors to go to create a full cat house at the Dobner home petting zoo. What's next ??? |

I feel there is a special ratio that determines resonance/vibrational transference, the variables being, mass of the saddles, area of contact of the saddles(or just overall.mass of the bridge vs. Mass of the guitar). I hate mustang saddles, I hate Gretsch bar bridges. The Mustang bridge, the saddles make a lot of contact with the bridge. What happens when you grab a material that is vibrating? It lessens the vibration. The mustang saddles are also hefty, and therefore take more energy to vibrate. When you factor in their mass and the increased area they contact the bridge with, you get a deader sound. The Jag/Jazz/Mastery, their saddles contact the bridge via smaller screws ao there is less contact with the bridge plate. Also, their saddles have less mass to them and should vibrate with less energy. I consider the Jag/Jazz/Mastery to be a tonally superior bridge to the Mustang/Staytrem. I currently have a Staytrem and Mastery on guitars that have thr same specs and these support my hypothesis. Also, it is just my general opinion of playing a lot of guitars, I tend to always look at a guitars bridge as they are very crucial to their quality. |

Interesting. I'll bet a physicist with nothing to do could calculate that from a theoretical norm of saddle (point) in free air and uniform pluck of a string. (Not that I care that much to donate to a grant for it.) But I'm kinda seeing your theory in my eye, with the string energy dissipated into the mass of bridge; energy being finite, ergo, less to excite the magnet. Wasn't there a period in guitar making when just everyone had to have the most massive rock of Gibraltar bridges & nuts? Thanks. —Wes DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices. |

I think I mentioned above that my buddy Eric and I were spraying guitars at the same time. He finally finished his Strat and here are our guitars together. He put a light mist of amber clear on and it really looks different because of it!

Now you need a pink J bass and JM to complete the set Nice warm pink tone. Is Eric going to play Strat again? I really liked the sound he got from it on "Reverberated For Your Pleasure". P.S Cheers, |

Ha! I would love to build one of each! I'm really wanting a Strat now(in Shell Pink like John Squire's). What brought this on was that I saw an incredible Strat player last night, just blew my mind how good he was. Yeah, Eric is gonna play Strat again, I'll solely be on Jag. We wrote a 'Verb song today, I have a handful written but this is the first collaborative song since 2008 that we've written. Maybe even late 2007... He was trying to replicate the Strat he owned on Reverberated, and he succeeded. He has an ice blue strat as well, but it just isn't the same. He is actually really gunning to do 'Verb stuff again. We all just need to start practicing again... and doing new songs! He bought it on Ebay, he only buys things for really cheap and used. |
