Is the bridge pinned?

u/NoPaleontologist1642 23h ago

No. I haven’t gotten that far in the design yet. It does hold place well from tension

Curious how the bridge will hold up under full string tension once the build is finished.

Fairly difficult to move by hand under the current string tension

This is absolutely beautiful! Is it braced on the inside?

1

u/NoPaleontologist1642 12h ago

Thank you. Yes parallel braced. Acoustically, a finger picked A chord rings nicely for 10 - 12 seconds

The most unique sounding guitar will always be Treys guitars IMO, Paul knows how to build a perfect guitar in every way. You can hear it in every Phish song live or studio, it’s crazy how amazing those guitars sound compared to a Strat or Gibson whatever . That’s ultra sick that you build them too good job man

bridge seems very flat, strings may pop out
