CBG for Service Member build

Posted by Bruce Myers on February 8, 2014 at 4:09pm
Just finished this one up and shipping it out Monday. The young man that is getting this one is a Broncos fan so, I had to get some orange and blue on it. Maple neck dyed orange, titanium tailpiece, orange G10 saddle and nut, disc piezo in the neck.

    Kane,

    It will work either way, it's just easier to install the strings through the top. Remember there aren't any rules, do whatever floats your boat.

    Just about to embark on my first build and I'd like to shape a tailpiece similar to this one. I've seen a few and wondered why most seem to put the strings in with the end 'balls' showing rather than poked through from underneath. Personally, I think they're ugly and would sooner hide them. Would that work or would there be some extra risk of the strings breaking?

    Thank you for the compliments guys. I am hoping it arrives in the new owner's hands soon, it shipped out on 2-10.

    Thanks guys, not too fancy but, it was a fun build.

    Frank, yep I did make the tailpiece. I have a few blanks cut out and laying on the workbench.
