Holy Diver bridge and Emerald neck in Short Hydra Les Paul

[ericsabbath]

This is my incoming guitar 
Short Guitars is a small company in Canada (that I actually first heard about here at BKP forum)
Specs are similar similar to a les paul custom (mahogany, maple top, ebony board), but with a schaller 456 "Iommi" bridge, sperzel locking tuners and abalone inlays
Everything is done by hand by Mr. Daniel Short, who was very attentive and patient in making every little detail I requested come true

I think the HD/EM set belonged to forumite Slartibartfarst42 (bought them from With Full Distortion)
Brushed nickel covers and gold screws were added later

These videos were made by Daniel's brother, Dennis
Hope I can record something myself soon (gotta wait until january to get my naughty hands on it)

And btw the HD/EM combo sounds great in it - the EM neck is on my gas list anyway.

That bridge looks bad ass

That bridge looks bad ass

Schaller made that bridge for over 30 years then for some reason they discontinued the 456 model (they still sell the non-fine tuning version)
I bought that one used

[Dave Sloven]

Oh yeah I know that model well from photos of Old Boy

Shame they discontinued it.
