Hello, here again, couldnt work with the Granadillo up to now, but I have some pieces of Ash drying, from the type of chinese Ash that grows here in LatinAmerica. Have found that it is catalogued as semi-hard wood. Do you think it could work? I'm thinking about leaving the plate on 7mm, and giving s...

Ohhh, I now understand what you mean... because of the hole the exercised tension gives a path to the wood to crack... if it has worked for you, I'm going to give it a try, and I'm also thinking on a expanded design for the plate (towards the sides), on a 5mm wood maybe shortened on the saddles plac...

Oh, great reference!!! thank you! Seems the granadillo we work with is Cocobolo, really nice wood... something close to the Verawood. Seems to me a good option as Ive already worked with it. About the grain, Im not sure if I understand you right, but really side to side? wouldnt it be prone to crack...

Oh OK, nice to know you've done some... the matter is I have to isolate the strings, so the block is going on wood also... do you think the surface and the block should be taken from the same block of wood? I was thinking that the wood growth on the block would benefit it, going upwards, and on the ...

Hello. The matter is I've been dealing with a too long project developing an electric guitar with midi and alike usability and recently (like an hour ago), realized the aproach to isolating the strings on the bridge was all wrong: instead of making those like-sleeping-bags for each string and some o...

Hi, I'm on last steps of my first guitar, and am on the shielding process with a pint of the stewmac's conductive paint. I just have been applying some 3 layers to some parts and I'm really wondering if some 30 to 50 ohms is ok.... I also heard about applying with some slow-little stroke technique b...

Jeff and David, thanks... In fact I did go with the bridge moving, maybe something else more than 5mm... The problem with your pointing David is that shimming under the bridge would make the tremolo block ask for more space in terms of height, between top and back of the body... I dont know if I mak...

It sure looks to me like your bridge is too far forward. I'd be plugging the holes and redrilling 5mm back, this will get you the intonation adjustment you need and a little more spring tension. but you go with the shim at the neck, or with moving the bridge? I mean that makes sense on both cases.....

Mark, thanks again, I'll be following those Erlwine steps. I did went with the two outer but maybe the center ones are too deep... the overall matter was that some weeks before I took the guitar out, the bridge was working rather parallel with only four springs... About the shim, seems better but yo...

Greg, Thank you for being so thoroughgoing, and also for the welcome! :D on the next photo, you can see it goes on the normal dimensions, 100mm. I bought the tremolo kit from stewart macdonalds, the traditional one... the red line is about the space I'm asking about, when I refer to add more wood, w...

Hello, Wanted to begin thanking the forum, and off course all the people, for giving that much help and info on so many different things So, the matter is as it goes on the subject: all 5 springs put and the tension on the strings is still lifting the bridge plate, a little, I in fact reduced it som...
