How did you work the "string-path" on this?
- It is obscured by the pedals in the in the photo. -
Is it over the end-plate?
Or through the end-plate?
Need "hardware-upgrade" for this?
Or a "Swing-Arm" Conversion?

It's a beauty!

The bridge strings through the body and through the bridge. I only send the 2nd and 3rd strings through the bridge the rest string through the body. It is a looker!

That's a beautiful guitar but it looks like the levers extend too far over the bridge eliminating the ability to mute the strings. db (Dan Balde) makes his Tele units with fold away levers to counteract this. All in all, that's one cool looking guitar though and I'd be proud to own it but I'm poor at the moment....JH in Va.

Hey Russ,
Can you post a photo of the string path through the end/plate and over the saddle?
I am very curious!
Thanks,
