Looks cool, but that photo is so HUGE that it's hard to see.

Hi Bob, The bridge is a schaller 3D-8

I honesty do not recall where I bought the pickups from but I bought 12 pair. They are mini humbuckers with bar magnets instead of poles under a chrome cover.

Hi Bob - I need to correct myself my kids tell me I have "old timers" - the bridge is a schaller 471, 8 and not a schaller 3D-8. There is a big difference... the 741, 8 has 8 holes to load the strings where as the 3D-8 only has 4.Bob Francis wrote:Thanks Jeff!

Here is a link to the schaller 471, 8 ---> http://www.warmoth.com/Schaller-471-8-S ... -P917.aspx
