Based on the bridge/string anchor and general styling that is definitely a Weir.

I’m not down with his headstock vision. I like his ideas otherwise. If he could come up with a good-looking head, I’d be 100% with it.

Yep. Everything he builds is pickup straight to the jack. He uses an acoustic style endpin jack.

While I applaud his use of a zero fret (still totally underutilized after all these years), I just would never be able to buy an electric guitar with a fixed saddle like that. Knowing that changing string type or gauge could worsen intonation would just drive me mad. I already hate it on acoustics but accept it out of necessity.

Re: Thought this looked good
it's not fixed down though is it? If you want to use a wound third you flip it round, neat idea. Presumably you can move it back and forth toombene085 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 12:25 pmWhile I applaud his use of a zero fret (still totally underutilized after all these years), I just would never be able to buy an electric guitar with a fixed saddle like that.

These are new to me, not quite my thing aesthetically (don't look like they are from the past!) but really admire what he's doing

very interesting. That headstock looks like it belongs on a crappy acoustic dreadnaught though
