Thanks for the information...seems like a great idea to use, especially on a fretboard...i´ll see how it goes :)

Pleased to accept, Marcus. Hope the tip for the bridge helped.

yeah Marcus, they can be modded...takes a careful approach, since the new holes have to be drilled directly below the adjustment screw holes...not much room. If you do try, I suggest removing all the other pieces (screws/saddles), and use some lubricating drill tapping oil. This will help a lot. Be sure to drill a hole big enough for the part of guitar string that is twisted around the round knock, but not (of course) larger than the knock. (knock= the round ferrule/ball end of string).

In my humble opinion, though, a through-body setup provides better sustain.

Just an afterthought Marcus. One of the photos on my page shows the handle pretty good I think. A picture is worth a thousand words they do say.

Pleased your getting on with your Guitar Case. I look forward to seeing a few pics when finished. Yeah I'm from the West Midlands originally but have lived up here for 40 yrs now. Have a look at my Vid just posted. It shows the country just north of here.

The way I made the handle was 2 pieces of 5 ply fretted and filed to identical handle shapes with small solid timber blocks glued n screwed at a right angle to there ends. Then a downward screw plus glue to fix to side walls of case.  The inner faces of handles meet flush when case is closed a bit like shopping bag handles.

Hi Marcus, the inside of the horn is porous and quite brittle, I used a drill press to start a hole all the way through and then filed and sanded until it fit my finger.

Marcus,

Thanks for the Friend request. Yes, I use both the original iRig guitar dongle, the iRig mic, and now the iRig guitar HD, to make all of my recordings into GarageBand on the iPad. I love it! I've been recording my own stuff on and off for years, starting with an old Panasonic portable cassette recorder, then various stereo cassette decks, until I got a Tascam Portastudio 1 Used that for a number of years, briefly had an old Ampeg 700 reel-to-reel, then back to the Tascam until the digital age. Used a cheesy mic into my laptop for awhile, and have a barely-used Boss that uses an SD card, but gave that up when I got my first iPad. Thought about getting an Olympus or Zoom pocket recorder, but instead have been recording with the iRig, GB and the iPad for the last 3 years. Easiest pocket recording studio I've ever had, and it sounds close to pro (I've also recorded in pro studios). I can't recommend it highly enough.
