<font color="blue">Kevin...very nice workmanship!

It looks very well built and solid, and machined perfectly.

I envy your talent and craftsmanship [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I bet with all that brass they sound incredible (or soon will [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]) </font>

Well now, you know I'm going to have a few questions about this right? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

-what finish is on the brass base and are the saddles clearcoated?
-What type of brass did you use for each of the parts?

Looks great bro...I'd give you a toast but there is none [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

holy sh!t, that's cool!

Took me a sec to work out how it fixes to the body too (I'm not too bright) Which will be even cooler again once it's on an axe [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hey Dave,

The Plate was bead blasted and will probably be polished. The Saddles are some V-Trem saddles and will be replaced when I get the programs (and the time)done to cut some of my own.

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

I see, by the way, did you find the mirror plate brass you asked about?

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

Wow, looks really nice and rigid!

Tech question: won't the small (hardened) height adj. bolts groove the brass plate pretty quickly?

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

they may do that, yeah, but that's why it's a prototype! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
this is the start of something that kev and i have been talking about getting around to for a few years now.

i'm pretty excited, to say the least, but i'll be more excited when i'm able to start on the projects that those hardtails will go on; it's gonna be pretty special, and that's all i'm sayin!

Yes and no. The saddles only move for intonation so they really won't wear a groove because you don't have constant movement. They will leave an impression in the brass. This was true of the old hardtails as well as v-trems. 1 Thing I may consider doing is adding slots for the set screws to ride in.

On another note Sully and I spoke about where this was going etc and we have a really cool idea that I hope will pan out. I also have a concept for anew type of hardtail and when I work it out I'm hoping it will be well received..

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

I think the slots would be an excellent improvement to help keep the saddles in line but as far as wear, if you're using a half hard or even hardened brass, you should be fine. Like you said, the saddles are not going to see alot of travel.

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

Ok. I think it looks very nice in that satin-like finish. Also the workmanship on that thing looks reeeeal neat.

I can't wait to hear more about all the projects you guys are mentioning.

Re: Sully Guitar/ Mayday\'s Wicked Pissah Pahts

looks like it would still be intact if it was run over by a tank , nice work
