Trem King arrived!!

The trem king is going to be the bridge for the wolfgang, cant wait to see it in action!!
P.S. depite it's design and suppose to be "produced" in U.S., the first thing i saw on the tone block is the "made in Korea" sticker....

MOP with abalone block inlay

thinking of making the guitar look more 'custom shop' like, I bought a set of MOP with abalone block inlay, it looks kinda cheap , but I guess it would look much better with better texture once it is sanded with the fingerboard....

more progress on the neck..

headstock.....need a liitle bit more sanding...

one side of the neck is shaped.....

Trem King - looks like a vintage bridge, works like a floyd

無意中上ss.org 睇到這隻bridge 介紹，一睇即刻迷上了，木來諗住支custom guitar 會裝floyd rose，現在唔洗諗一定要訂這隻bridge..
can move like a floyd but appear as a vintage bridge, without needing to route as much wood as a floyd,such a brilliant design...

routing truss rod channel

Basic setup.....

make sure the router bit align with the middle line...

first pass.....very smooth

a close up of the result..

finally fitted the truss rod in the channel, the heel needed extra effort to route a opening to adapt the spoke wheel...

coming up....attaching the fingerboard...

control cavity and trimmed fingerboard

lots of sanding work....this is the outcome of rought sanding with #80 and #100

control cavity routing,用短route bit 過了幾次才做到想要幾深度， 用了較長時間route...



fingerboard timmed....

roughly finished shaping....

今日用了四個小時，將個body修好邊，由於只有trimmer 加bearing 鑼刀，條鑼刀又唔夠長，所以要過幾次先修好個shape，又夠到成身木碎...

之後見還有時間，順手修好兩快quilted maple top 的邊，用jig saw cut 出黎，用 titebond II glue 落個body...

聽日繼續...
