[Bolwede]

Has anyone tried this hardtailbridge?

Der Trashcontainer - Onlineshop

What fan scale is it for or is it custom order ?
I made something similar out of a couple of pieces of brass last year.
That's pretty good for the price though.

That looks pretty neat and agree with Pondman the price is great Thanks for the link Sir

Did I blink and miss that build? I guess I must've... Do you have a link handy, or should I go trawling through your threads?

It looks 25.5 - 27

Interesting find and at a good price.
Dang I wish there was more info. on it.

Just so you know, even if your eye was that good, the angle of the bridge alone does not determine scale lengths.

Yeah... The perpendicular fret is going to be the big factor in the bridge angle, as well as scale lengths.

I know, I was assuming that if the perpendicular fret was the 9th then a 1.5 inch fan would be my guess but you're right, I didn't think of moving the perrpenducukar fret around to accommodate different scale lengths.

Just a comment on the shown multiscale bridge: Do notice that very little is done in terms of facets and rounding-offs, so it could be uncomfy to your palm.

as a german I'm familiar with Der Trashcontainer and MGH as solid supplier for spare parts. It's nothing high end, you'll get what you've paid for.

Bought two MGH 7 string pickups new from ebay for 30€ each for my RG7 just out of curiosity and they are my most preffered pickups til today.

Don't know anything about the bridge, but Der Trashcontainer is a super cool shop for regular and more unusual hardware like locking nuts for headless guitars and these FF-bridges.

Did you shoot them a mail asking for the scales?

I just sent them and email, lets see what they reply
I'm going to build a 25.5"-26.5" fanfret telecaster this summer.
I posted this pick on a Swedish forum and Johan Lundgren wrote to me that he could make me
angled pickups for the build if i wanted to.
But I've never tested Lundgrens before even if I'm swedish

That's not a bad idea as far as I can tell. The base and the back are bolted together from the bottom I take it?

 

[Bolwede]

Its for 625mm-675mm (24.5"-26.5")

 

[jwade]

I want one. That's awesome.

That's absurd, it's just a bridge, it can be used for literally any scale length one desires. You could have no fan whatsoever with this bridge, the frets (and nut) would simply all have the same angle all the way up the neck. No idea why one would do that, but the bridge isn't stopping you from doing it. Longer fans, like 27.5" - 29.5" or something would be equally fine, the bridge wouldn't care at all.

 

[jwade]

Obviously, with a little bit of adjusting, you can make it work for whatever scales you want, but it's aimed at a 2" fan. It's really nice to see more options for this kind of thing.

Pondman do u have pics on how u made the bridge? I would love to see
