You'll probably want the set for Schaller minis; the standard Schaller buttons are pretty huuuge.

Thanks for that, Paul. I take it the shafts are the same size on the minis and the standard size tuners?

The bloodwood bridge is a really nice compliment to the bubinga fingerboard. I thing bloodwood might make a nice fingerboard in itself.

Shafts are the same.

That is simply stunning, Paul.... brilliant work as always and an absolutely gorgeous colour job. Alisha must be on the edge of her seat!!

Thanks, Aitch...I'm wrapping up the details, stringing and setting it up today and tomorrow. On Tuesday the iMix pickup system arrives; I'll do some photos of its installation process that evening, and the guitar will ship on Wednesday.

OMG, Paul.... The checkerbound headstock in that color with the gold tuners is just over-the-top KILLER in the good looks department! Please post more pics of that after you get the TRC on.... That is some wonderful eye candy there!

OK, Melissa, here it is:

Thanks again, Paul.

That bloodwood bridge looks wonderful. Would that wood be suitable for back and sides of an acoustic guitar? Or at least for a solid body instrument?

WOW.... Truly a work of art! Wonderful....

Can anyone say Rickenlust????

It could be used for either.

My computer screen is covered with lick marks!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

....And my keyboard is full of drool!

That should would make a nice surf guitar Melissa...have Paul fit it with a vibrato bar...not!

Oh my.....words fail. Simply beautiful.

Actually, Geo, Melissa is the envious and enthusiastic one...Alisha is the soon-to-be owner.

WOW
