Nice work. Does it bother you how close the bridge is to the vibrato plate?
I'm planning a similar build and was wondering about how that conflict would work out. I'm going to be using a roller bridge decked as low as possible so it looks like I'll need to move forward with my plan to develop a custom integrated vibrato cover plate that combines both into one.

Not at all. It works quite well. The bridge is nit that close. If I were to do it again, I’d probably move it back another 1/2”.

Really curious to hear how it sounds.

My studs were drilled at exactly 30" from the nut and it leaves a tiny bit of clearance behind the bridge.Horsefeather wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 11:21 amNice work. Does it bother you how close the bridge is to the vibrato plate?
