I just installed the same bridge on my Parker style guitar kit. I love Babicz bridges, solidly built, and top-notch quality..

Man what a great looking ax. I like what I see with the Babicx bridge, I like those pickups and all. There are no tips I can give you Brad, you have covered all the bases. Nice job!

I absolutely LOVE Babicz bridges! They're functionally great! Railhammer pickups are quite solid, too.

I love Babicz bass bridges.

@RuffTymesBob 5 ай бұрын

That's a great bridge idea. Gibson should have been using something like that long ago! Sometimes saying "It aint broke so don't fix it" is just a lazy way to not admit being wrong. Always look for a way to improve! Way to go Babicz!

Totally agree

@TommySG1 5 ай бұрын

Hey Brad! I only have one Babicz bridge on a Tele here, and it is a very well made piece man, agreed 👍 As they say typically, you get what you pay for 😊 That LP style axe came out beautifully, really nice job!

Looks awesome. BTW, I think Babisz would sell more stuff if they took the gigantic logo off the tailpiece - that's a deal breaker for me

@BradAngove 16 күн бұрын

It is a bit… aggressive. The tail piece is just a standard piece of hardware though, so you could just use a different one if you happen to be a big fan of the bridge.

@pistolpete7280 5 ай бұрын

I've had my eye on this bridge for a while. Seems pretty cool. The adjustability is a really intriguing feature. I just don't like the babicz logo on the tailpiece.

@dpdupuis5 5 ай бұрын

You could use your original tail piece if you'd like (assuming you're talking about an LP style guitar)

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

Yeah the huge wording in it is a bit much.

@pistolpete7280 5 ай бұрын

Just ordered a black one for my Schecter Solo II ATX. $300 CAD later let's see if its worth the hype, lol@@BradAngove

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

They’re definitely not cheap.

@deludedreality89 5 ай бұрын

I was looking up videos of this bridge yesterday. It's similar to a Kahler, which is my favorite. The Kahler also has individual string spacing adjustment by moving the saddles. Have you ever installed a Kahler fixed bridge or temolo? On the Kahler tremolo you can also turn a simple hex screw and turn it into a fixed bridge.

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

I’ve played one, but I’ve never installed one. That sounds like a great setup. I’m a huge fan of the Ibanez zr bridges, but they’re pretty complicated.

@dpdupuis5 5 ай бұрын

I've installed a few of those on basses, they're great bridges and the design is great. On a separate note I couldn't seem to focus on anything in the video besides your uncut strings wiggling all over the place lol

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

Haha yeah, I prefer to set up and tune the first time before trimming the strings.

Beautiful guitar and great work as usual man I love seeing all your projects. Quick question what would be the cheapest way to Mill down a guitar body to a specific thickness I'm thinking about making or buying a router sled and using my router or maybe buying a thickness planer but idk when id ever use them again and they're not cheap

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

I did it by building a shallow box that fit the guitar body, and then using two pieces of cheap angle iron with holes in it. I bolted those to the router rather than the plexi glass plate so it would glide over the box edge, essentially making my own sled.

@tdlvsabs 5 ай бұрын

if you use a kit body or home made without predrilled holes can you mount the tailpiece a little farther back so you dont hit the finish with the allen wrench?

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

Yes, you can mount the stop tail farther back.

@jugheadjones5458 5 ай бұрын

The saddles are prettier and apparently much more functional than the standard wedge-shaped saddles. Purty bridge hardware!

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

It’s a pretty fancy piece of equipment haha.

Can you set the bridge radius?

@BradAngove 7 күн бұрын

Yes, you can set the height of each saddle.

I just got a babicz... i have been too scared to put it on. I have the epiphone thunderhorse or a heritage h150. help me choose what to do people :P Ill try to make up my mind checking out the vid XD How does the babicz feel while palm muting?

@BradAngove 5 ай бұрын

These are pretty tough to beat. They’re nice and round:smooth so I would think it will feel nice when palm muting.
