This is the one that uses a screw through the bridge. The type with brass pins can suffer from low break angles over the saddle if the saddle is low.

I don’t know of a UK distributor, I buy them, like a lot of things(!), from Stewart Macdonald.

I’ve an old Yamaha 12 string that has a bellied top. I’ve sanded the bridge insert down but…

I saw this in Phil Balmers book recently and am wondering about having a go… I’d like to get to being able to doing these kind of repairs myself.

Question – is this the one you screw in via the string pins? Or the one where you attach directly – I’m inclinded to go for the second one. Also is there a UK distributor? Or do you get them from the USA

love this thing. im currently using it for recording. unless you want to paint it (which i didn’t) or customize the head (which i didn’t either), it only takes a couple hours to assemble it, string it up and set the action.

Thanks again for getting the Shell Pink lacquer to me. My USA ’62 reissue Jazz Bass is now refinished (White primer, Shell Pink and clear gloss lacquer coats).

I’m really pleased with how it’s turned out, Kevin

Hi, nice job, thinking of building a partscaster meself. You mention the Fender headstock shape is trademarked but then cut out an exact tele headstock shape … can you get in trouble making the headstock look so close to a real tele? Has Fender ever hassled you for this? Thanks, George

You should sand out any imperfections and spray another colour coat. Then, if you want a really shiny finish, clear coat, flat sand and buff as I show above.
