Looks good! What's that bridge and where did you get it? I've been trying to find those but I can't anywhere.

Three websites and I finally found it (I think)

That looks great, is that a pig I see in the bridge?

CWP and CS.
It would be easy going on Legra to find out tbh :roll:

Nice one man, that looks great. I liked the blue, but I think prefer the black (it is black, right? :lol: )
And steady on Jonny lad; not everyone will know that it's on the Legra website! :)
-
lol, Jonny speaking of going to the Legra site, why did you go to 3 sites to find what bridge it was :P
What was the reason for refinish? I like the trans blue quite a bit, probably just because of the trans part though :)
-
Thanks guys
The reason was that I originally got it flat-fronted, cos I saw one of bobs previous bodies of that shape and thought it looked great.
I didnt find it as comfortable to play, though, so I got the forearm shelf cut into it, and decided that transparent black looked really cool, so thats what I got it re-finished as.
The blue was kind of greenier in person anyway, and I wasnt all that hot on it. Not that it mattered, its about the tone, but I love this finish. I think it looks as well as plays better with the contour on it too.

On the site it said Schaller. Full stop. So I went a bit further.

Argh!
You're so lucky to have a custom - The ONE thing wrong with my new guitar is that it has no forearm shelf - Which can be quite annoying - but is something I have no choice but to get used to, since I don't have the options that you clearly have.

Mmmmm Like to see better quality pics of that now, it looks gorgeous!

That looks SOOOOOOOOOO much better than that horrible blue you used to have on it :roll: :twisted:
Looks fvckin sick man!

It's a Schaller 456; a 455 with a tuner block. It's available from Touchstone, David Dyke and various other Luthier Supplies outfits.
