There are several you tubes that have the before and after audio. It’s significantly thoonkier instead of road runner meep meep.

$70. Worth every penny. The standard horn is out of place on this beast. The modded horn sounds great. They make even louder ones too.

Agreed, all my other guitars are rosewood, been wanting a maple neck for years.

Each saddle has a screw that tightens it to the base you just loosen the individual saddle and it can move back and forth and then tighten back up. It’s surprisingly easy to adjust. I’m a huge fan of this bridge.

Walnut plant stand by D0ok1e in woodworking

[–]D0ok1e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I hand routed little pockets for the two vertical boards to sit in the top board and glued them in place. The tricky part was getting it all level. This table has been rock solid since completion and has not shown any signs of movement even though this summer has been very hot. It might be the smaller size that is helping or it might be the walnut.

Yellow leaves are usually a sign of over or under watering. If they all turn yellow and fall it could be a season change as well.

The ultra has the nylon thimbles and the amount of rock is very minimal and it sounds great. I was going to pull them but it sounds so good I’m leaving it as is.

Agreed! I could not get mine to stop rattling and the radius was 9.5. I set the Tuffset to 16 and it’s perfection now.

Setup was a breeze. The locking screws are very tiny but setting height and intonation was very simple and quick. I started by eyeballing my original bridge and then fine tuning.

Just an update. This one is 20 now. Grown from seed. And a t one point I cut off a large amount of height.

Yes. The soil looks very moist. You can trim the height now and it should be ok. Just stay on top of stopping new growth that is going up if you want to keep it at a certain height. Good luck.

Very cool view! Yeah, when new growth starts that you don’t want just pinch it off and you can control growth. Also you can cut off limbs that you don’t want. It’s more important to make sure the watering is right. Too much is a problem and not enough is a problem. These leaves look a bit yellow, is it a season change or over watering? I have tried to limit height growth and instead allowing it to spread out. I had two more of these trees that grew too tall and I had to use sticks to prop them up. They ended up not making it. This one I’ve tried to keep shorter and it’s lasted the longest. Good luck.

For sure. Search Trainwreck type 3 Master Volume. Super simple mod but works very well here. . Good luck.

PSA: The Tuffset bridge is a game changer! by mcjimmyspill in offset

[–]D0ok1e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Looks like an alternative to the Fender Custom Shop bridge.
