Always the greatest treat to hear new stuff from you Sensei!! Back to the woodshed for me....lol. Cheers to my brother in insanity, and hugs from both R. and myself.
Ive always thought your instrument sounded incredible Tim, and would love to own one myself. But why the individual tuners instead of a modern headless guitar bridge? Is it a weight thing?
Thank you DQ- I simply love the Gotoh tuners and tune-O-matic bridge that I designed the instrument around. Yes, I could have gone with a headless tuner/bridge arrangement, but there isn't a big benefit in doing so IMO. The HG's design would radically change as well, and maintaining one style of tuner throughout the intrument, coupled with a tune-O-matic bridge was my main criteria for the design. Thanks for weighing in DQ!
