bridge cover option

Being "raised' on a vintage Strat I'm used to resting my hand on the bridge for muteing(sp) and harmonics , but for serious "strumming"this will protect the bridge from any inadvertent movment in the middle of your best song . I'm on the fence with this . No holes drilled .

    I was going to do the same thing with my last build but, like TC said, I didn't think it would feel right (or give me full playability). I opted to put it on the top corner instead and use as a carrying handle. looks nice and is useful! but if u place it over the bridge lemme know how u think of it.

    I was on that same fence and went for it... I like the look but don't like the feel when playing it and thought about doing it again just for it's cool looks on my latest build but in the end I couldn't . did you ?

    nice axe too, real clean lines, like the (brass?) plate on the tail.

    go for it.
    u will quickly get used to palm muting around/in front of it while resting ur hand on it..
    i do this on dobro conversions, and theres plenty of steels like this

    I think it looks great as long as it functions as you expect it to.

    This looks great! jump off the fence and drill some holes.
