NPD and NTD
« on: July 02, 2009, 11:50:19 PM »
Thats right people, i've broken my BKP virginity! I was in Guitar Guitar Glasgow today (again) and picked myself up a set of calibrated MQs. I also bought a Bigsby B12. These shall both be going on my Epi Les Paul custom, which has become a bit neglected with the addition of my 339.

Would put pics up (as i know none of this is valid without them), but i'm at a friends right now, so maybe tomorrow.

Cool :)

I'd be interested to hear what you think of the MQ bridge. I had an MQ neck in my Tokai LP, but not the bridge.

I'll be sure to let you know! Although it looks like this Les Paul will be getting a complete overhaul, so it might not be in for a while...

Congratulation  :D

Les Paul, P90, Bigsby - classic combination. I can already hear the tone  8)

Update! I've removed everything from the LP and placed the bigsby and MQs on the body in a 'mock up' fashion.



Just need to remove the inserts for the tailpiece and bridge for when i get new ones, the only problem i've run into so far is that the bigsby isn't lying completely flat on the body of the guitar, but i think this is due to the little felt feet on it.

Still a long way to go, but shall get there eventually  :D
