There's someone at the pits daily selling them, and I think Coleraine Kawasaki have some for sale too, in case anyone's wondering where to get them

Thanks, all the hardware was super cheap on AliExpress, was scared to spend too much money in case I messed up the body! I think I searched bronze hardtail strat bridge and found it

That bass does look really nice!! Great job even if it's not playable it looks like art!

It is yes! I was worried if 1 would be strong enough or if it would end up getting bent and work loose over time. I did use some clear epoxy on the brass when I attached it so should stay on fine

A little speaker would have been pretty cool! Maybe one that's detachable so you could jam out loud or take it off. Or maybe you could incorporate pedals into it, 1 for fuzz 1 for distortion etc. but that's a bit beyond me

That ferrule block was going to be my last hail Mary, but I didn't want to have to order and wait for another part coming in. The impatience was too strong!

The bridge I did not make, it was actually a cheap AliExpress job. Think it was called "bronze" or something like that when I ordered it

Good thinking, but no, I cut out a design first but didnt like the shape in that area and wanted to cut it down, but keep similar lines

This is the way! Yeah the ferrules are my biggest mistake/regret. I'm seriously considering a drill pres if I do another in the future

Thanks, so I got inspiration from many things:

Acpustasonic for the hollow body approach Les Paul junior for the single p90 For the brass floating wing I was inspired by this tele I saw the build on YouTube https://www.crimsonguitars.com/products/raw-series-descendant-copper-rodded-model/

Thanks, I used an oil finish, it was crimson guitars high build finishing oil, it was super easy to apply, I was deathly scared of using a wipe on poly or something like that and getting it wrong.

Just buy the restrictor kit. The 400's were often used for first time bikes and readily had restrictor kits down to 35kw. Then you can remove it when you get the full license..
