Always a pleasure to see the artisanal SD TV and speculate what is under the green blanket.

It’s Tbird Saddleday, lots of different Bridge options out there. Post your bird with a unique bridge…

From left to right…
Epiphone Goth with black Hipshot bridge (fender style mod - 5 body screws to keep the studs from lifting)
Greco 3 point plus claw in black
Greco 3 point plus claw in chrome
Gibson 2015 with Babicz in black minus the shim plate
Gibson 2013 Anniversary model with 3 point in Gold
North 2022 BlingBird with TBird vintage style Gold two piece bridge from Philadelphia Luthiers
Epiphone VP chrome two piece
BaCH NR with chrome two piece

I love how this North guy talks about himself in the 3rd person here...

Love the display though!

This is how Rickenbacker "addressed" bridge-plate tail-lift in the late '80s... I had one in Fireglo and when I saw the two wood-screws through the bridge I thought someone did a crude DIY on it. These (4004) were the ones with the tr access at the neck heal, so they had a 2-piece pg for access.

This was the best way to solve that problem for me..Hipshot!

I do like the 3 point bridge, but the Greco styled claw 3 point is my favorite.

My MIJ copy was faithfully made with the same flaw. And I solved the problem the same way, but with screws that match:

IF I had any tail lift problems on my Ric’s, I would just add two screws to it in less time than it to to post complaining about it.

I replaced the newer version (v2) Ric bridge with a Hipshot, I really like the older version bridge, it’s stoopid simple like a Gibson tuna-matic.

When I built my 7enderBirds, and “others” I just went for the easiest and most plentiful bridges out there…

The 7ender style…. I used Gotoh’s and BadAss’s, Hi-Mass, whatever I found in the classifieds.

Even my former Schecter Sixx came with 7ender style…

I didn't know that kangaroos like sunshine.

Well they do.

But I’m sure you knew what I meant.

Looked like the laminations in the neck might be in question.

trying to catch up and I did a double take.
I read that as lamingtons.

@GBassNorth might be the only normal/sane one here...

I have never gotten that impression of him…

Well, let’s say on a sliding graded bell curve, he’s probably the most normalish
