View attachment 3550738 Also, any help on getting my 8 string with whammy bar to stay in tune. Hate the bar. Any suggestion on somehow taking the bridge and fix it to the body.
Hmm..Can you take out the whammy bar?
If you can,is there a hole that goes all the way through?
Maybe you can put a long bolt through that is anchored into the wood underneath.

Or maybe you could remove the whole bridge,fill the recess with wood.Then install the bridge.

It's a "convertible" system so the bar is meant to lock when it's in rest position. Since that's not happening it'll need some help.

The 4 grub screws close to the bar,do they set how far the trem can travel ? If they do it's possible to fix the trem in place. Pull back on the bar and slip a piece of metal under the grub screws,release the bar then wind the screws down tight and remove the bar. That should stop any movement.

You've locking tuners so the nut really shouldn't need any lubricant but it won't hurt if you rub a bit graphite in the nut slots.
 
Ok!
Here it is.
It's missing a knob but that's ok!
I always put on gold/abalone knobs.
And Straplocks.

This bad boy is punchy!
Full and round!
And.....is a full pound lighter(9.6 lbs of ovangkol top) than the fretless(10.5 lbs of walnut top).

The D6 will be sold within a week.

Punchy is right! I like the abalone very much. I may copy you for my TW6
 
Brilliant idea :) Easier to switch on,easier to see and no ugly headstock mount.
Gbass6, glad you're happy with your twins! Got any sound clips to share?

Have to say, when I saw the pics, I also wondered what the odd things were on the bridge. I understand some don't like the headstock-mounted tuners (which makes me wonder if they've tried the D'Addario NS Micro), but moving to a bridge-mounted metal clip tuner...is not an aesthetic improvement to me. You've got a beautiful combination of wood and gold, further improved by the gold and abalone knobs, then put an ugly metal and plastic tuner on it? :confused:

To each their own.
