The guitar is looking very nice, complete, and sounding great! As a 'dad' you are suffering from the normal symptoms of being a new dad...learning to adjust. I would suggest good vitamins to keep your vitamin c maxed to help keep your resistance high through the coming weeks of disturbed sleep. It does get better, especially when your baby grins!

Very nice build and sounds good. For recording, there is always the option of a focusrite scarlett solo, and some mixing software. No need to worry about volume being too loud then as it's all through the computer. I just got a babicz bridge for a telecaster, love it and palm mute is very easy to do with it also. Look after yourself Brad, sounds like your getting sick, or just need a good sleep? Look forward to the next build.

What an absolute POS.The neck joint is as loose as.......... nevermind , family friendly. Ive had it a year and it is half done. I would definitely have more ambition to complete a well made kit. Great job.

2 weeks ago, I found out that the babicz bridge does interfere with palm muting. I installed one on my friends guitar for comfort and the strings coming out of lower on the saddle forced him to palm mute higher up the strings "choking out" the PM. If the saddle were adjusted higher the action was affected. The only way to bring the strings to the top of the saddle (like a hannes) was to wither recess the bridge or angle the neck
@BradAngove4 ай бұрын
I just demonstrated that it does not interfere. Tell your friend to palm mute against the edge of the bridge. It works great. That’s the right place to do it anyway as far as I’m concerned. Doesn’t make sense to try to mute right on top of a tunomatic bridge.
@tycarlock96904 ай бұрын
It does interfere. Not so much as it prevents palm muting completely but playing up ahead of the bridge like that chokes the notes more and sounds worse than muting above the bridge. If you're playing metal and you're a fast player, it's even more noticable. I've played TOM bridges for like 15 years so i know how to palm mute just fine.
@flama6444 ай бұрын
I bought the Babicz as a Hannes alternative. You achieve different sounds in palm mutes depending on how far up you place your palm. The babicz takes away a lot of that "range"
@BradAngove4 ай бұрын
Haha ok. If you’re someone who likes to palm mute right on the bridge for some reason then you should avoid this type of bridge and get a wraparound style.

@BradAngove4 ай бұрын
Yeah it would be a pretty pricey build. I’m not entirely sure because I get access to some of this stuff at a reduced cost I’m also working in Canadian dollars, but I’m guessing $1200-$1500 Canadian.

So the one thing I didn't see was the pickup installation - Soldering is neither here nor there, but I am curious as to where you got the pickup rings from? Did they come with the RailHammers? Was there any sanding you had to do to get them to fit properly? I just ordered my kit (same kit, different wood specs, etc) from PGK, and they didn't really have an answer. Thanks in advance!
