  • What bridge for my Gold Saint dt50?

    Ok its time i decided what bridge to start saving for. I really wish i had of drilled the posts before i finished it but you learn from your mistakes.

    Its a modified 1980 ibby destroyer. Someone had a beaver route out a floyd rose cavity on it so i filled that in. The bridge will have to be a tom/badass style as the posts then will go into the original timber not the area i plugged.

    What bridge would you install on it? I have a schaller 455 but its chrome. I did consider getting it powder coated yellow.

    I'd do a T-O-M bridge with strings thought the body or a PRS wraparound bridge so it hides as little of the graphic ad possible. Tonepro makes and excellent bridge
    It's pronounced soops

      Agreed.
      Do not cover up the old guy. That means you're probably going to do a have to put the strings through the body.

        And this is a third on the string-through. As always man, awesome work.
        I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.

          And here i was thinking you guys didn't care. String through? it has to be historically correct haha

          I am feeling this 510 gotoh bridge.

            That looks gaudy to me but it isn't on the guitar so it's hard to tell.

              ^^ i guess it is yeah/
              But like i said i have one of these already but its in chrome http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Genui...item46197bc9fd
              I did consider getting it and the neck plate powder coated in a straight yellow. Not sure how well it would work in the end but it is an option and possibly my cheapest.

                I'd go string-thru TOM, as well. I think any other bridge would cover too much of the cool graphic.
