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 :)

[MDV]

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.

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