I got the Allens from fastenal. I did end up cutting the wrench to fit it. Works great. Yes they are also bubinga. :)

That's a great idea. Thanks man.

Well it's finally finished. It's been a long project but I am happy with the outcome. My last hurdle is intonation :rage:. For those who have NOT tried the hipshot D two piece bridge, adjusting intonation is much harder than it should be. I had to make a 90° philips which doesn't work so well...

Thanks for the responses. I wish I knew it was press fit. Thanks for the tip!

The dowel was a size smaller than the hole itself

This is my first build. The holes I drilled for the bridge were a hair too small so I glued some sand paper to a dowel and used my drill to open it up a hair. It worked a little too well and now I have unwanted play. I have some thoughts on how to fix this, but as the holes are wallered, I...

Any hipshot d - style bridge users here yet? Just wondering if there is any tips once I'm ready to install

May I ask what tools you used to do your body shaping?

Due to being to lazy to change my bandsaw blade, I am left to figure out how to level out my peg head. Does anyone have any ideas? It tapers to the end. The nut side being the thickest. Thanks

I'm so inspired! Incredible design. Your the man!

I am so relieved! I have not installed mine yet and hadn't even thought about hight. I didn't really want to have to drill holes if I didn't have to. I got the 5 string. Can it sit square or does it require an angle?

Did anyone notice that you have to be set up for back loading before installing the tail piece? Tail blocks access to intonation adjustment. Not really a problem but it never specified on the website. Am I wrong here?

I will do just that! Thanks. Anyone tried the hipshot D style bridge yet? There are no reviews that I have found yet. Delano sonar 3 band with emg 40dc. Good match? I have no experience with active preamps

Finger board is radiused and mounted. i hadn't thought to cut the slot prior. So this shinto should save my ass? I taped up a flat file but it wobbles and makes the seat more curved than flat. I stopped before I messed it up.

No the actual slot that the nut sits in. Well mine isn't really a slot. I left a little extra rosewood at the end so I could cut my own space.
