- I'm highly opinionated and extremely self-assured
I bought a similar product (probably should have gone ABM) from Technology for Musicians who are an Italian company and I got em in a little less than 2 weeks. They work great but the 2 piece design is needlessly complicated
I just priced them, converted money and added shipping and I can get an entire Nova kit, bridge and headpiece, for the same as 5 of these. Not sure if I'll get them or just get Andre to add in another headpiece in the next order.
The ABMs do look neat though.
Not to put pressure on @Passini to get these out to market, but I had reached out to him a couple of months ago to see if individual headpieces were in the were and he said they were!
I'm assuming they'll be in the same matching matte black as the rest of his hardware...
^^ Thanks. I'll email and ask, but I recall seeing somewhere that he had some single string headpieces that were triangular in shape that he was prototyping so I'll ask about those too.
I was given some S/H ABM individual bridges and would like it to be all one brand, but the shipping is nearly as much to the antipodes as they cost.

I think you are right, he was going with the triangular design.
I think they make a bit more sense with close spacing as you can alternate their directions and bring them closer so they make sense for guitar...
If your design allows for the string retainers to be collinear (yours does not), he also makes a single unified base plate that holds all of the strings.

Hello guys, I'm sorry about my delay.
I made the parts, they're done, but have been tested. I made two models, but this is the definitive one.

Awesome. I'll wait until they're done and add them to the order.
I hope the delay means business is great.
Very cool @Passini - What metal are these made out of?

Thank you! It is made of aircraft aluminum
It's not my ad, but for those who may be interested, there's a (rare!) David King headless 5 in the classifieds.
DoneMy new headless build thread is finally started, we’ll see how these crazy ideas turn out
New headless build… might be a long thread :-)
My gun case (AKA the perfect headless bass guitar case) showed up today, it is nicely padded and is the perfect size with plenty of pockets for accessories.
I have been seriously considering a gun case for my 27" scale headless. I'm planning on flying with it and there are not too many options for an instrument just 33" in total length and hardly 9" wide...
