cheaper than the thundebuckersWhat's the width of the covers? I might wanna put 1 or 2 on my 5 string Epi Bird. It needs more chrome.

Not only would it look good but you could avoid all those questions about the bridge.
Hi All: I recently outfitted my TV Silver (thanks LarryV, still loving it) with Ultralite Hipshot bass tuners to alleviate some weight. I opted not to retain my drop D extender, so to conform the tuners are all standard. Wow. The 4 Ultralite tuner difference is night and day and eliminated my issue.
My question: Droppind to D is a simple flick of the wrist once you get the hang of it. Do you all feel a bass extender is necessary? I don’t drop the A or other strings.
Just curious. Thanks.

I still wanna do the Thunderbuckers but that project is on hold after puking out a bunch of $ to IRS.
I like the drop D extender when it's setup right. Is it absolutely irreplaceable? No....
I did the 66s. Had to route but well worth it. Cuts through the pesky electric guitars like butter.I still wanna do the Thunderbuckers but that project is on hold after puking out a bunch of $ to IRS.
I'm happy w/ the stock pups on my '67 NR but would like to replace the PJ pups on my 5 string NR Epi Bird. That's gonna involve some excavating. Not something I'm gonna tackle, it'll be done by someone who Knows what they're doing.
Vintage Pro folks..Just a heads up if you need a case that already has some road mileage..I'd put a sticker on it and roll on to the next gig.

I love that bridge though.
Did you find it?
Luthiers corner - something like love child of thunderbird and EB0 it’s only 2 or 3 pages back
Tonight’s abode is Caithness general hospital, Wendy fell over at John o groats and broke her wrist, six hours in A&E so far
OW! My sympathies to both and a speedy recovery.
Oh no!. Hope she is ok, must be painful.
Not yet, just was out getting another set of strings, i'll find it.
Here it is,I’ve got nothing else better to do at the moment

Was looking at it just now, Oh my!!!
Oh, that sucks..sorry to hear..
It needs a bridge cover.LOL
I'm trying to characterize some pickups and was wondering if anyone could point me at where I can find data (if available, I have not done a search yet cause I figured I ask here first) to populate this?;
Rs = series resistance which seems to be in the range of +-9kOhm but I heard 76 buckers are around 3k?
L = inductance in Henrys. From what I've read it can be as high as 1.5H!
Cp = Parallel interwinding capacitance. I have not seen this number posted but I measured about 18nF on a 2013 Gibson unit.
Any data you may have would be great!
