Now you've done it,
I've drooled on my keyboard.
Is this thing supposed to spark like that?

My el-cheapo Dean Vendetta. Surprisingly, it plays pretty well and the pickups aren't half bad either. I have a little trouble switching to it because of the scale length after playing my LP.
This one is getting a make-over in a month or so. New paint and hardware with maybe a pickup swap.

Heres my GS again for those who havent seen it. Simple but effective.
Guitars Gordon Smith GS1.5-40, Peavey Generation EXP, Ovation Celebrity electro
Amps Behringer GM110
Effects Danelectro Blue Paisley pure drive, Danelectro Cool Cat CD1 Distortion, Danelectro Black Paisley liquid metal, Danelectro Cool Cat chorus(original 18v model), Danelectro Dan Echo delay, Line 6 Toneport GX,
That is simple... but effective?Originally Posted by Mr Grumpy
Is it an optical illusion due to light reflection or is that wrap-around bridge not compensated at all?
If so, is there no method to adjust for intonation?
These two have me G.A.S.ing pretty badly.....

I like the Agile too.Originally Posted by Perfect Stranger

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
I'm puzzled by this too. That isn't a bridge at all, only the tailpiece.Originally Posted by Rocket
Well, that one does look like just the tailpiece part of a tailpiece & bridge assembly, but they do make a one-piece wrap-around tailpiece but it is not smooth... usually has a molded compensated bridge-ridge or adjustable saddles.Originally Posted by MichaelE
It looks like a Tonepro's tailpiece to me. But I've been wrong before.
That tailpiece is not compensated just like the ones on LP Juniors.
Here's an unadorned natural beauty for you (and Rocket, the saddle is compensated ).

Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
Here's LP Junior. Not tailpiece... compensated, wrap-around bridge:Originally Posted by markb

I have one on my LP Studio Doublecut (above pic). No sliders, no waggles. You can adjust the overall angle the bridge sits at (via sideways adjustments off the posts), but that's it. It surprisingly really hasn't been a problem. I just got mine out to double-check, since it'd been quite awhile since I played it. Sounds fine all the way up.

Just me, but I'd toss it and install an adjustable wrapper... got to be able to fine tune.Originally Posted by Brian Krashpad
Does that cause any buzz where the tailpiece curves away from the strings or cause the strings to slide around on the tailpiece when you bend?
Here's the wrapped bridge on my Jr... fully adjustable height, pivot, saddles:

I have one like that on my Grestch Special Jet, the seller put it on. I've had the waggle-top ridged kind too.Originally Posted by Rocket
