    I love this Richey. Super clean. Great bridge and rail piece AND hand wound pickup. Brilliant.

    Thanks buddy! Did you see a put a special bridge pic up just for you? Yep those are spoke nipples from a bike wheel, I use them as string ferrules as they're much cheaper than the real thing. The strings pass through those, which all pass through a strip of copper tape which is connected to the back of the volume pot. It sounds good and as always I'll be sad to see it go. Will post a vid before I send it on!
