Sneak Peak

I like to drill out the bridge mounting holes before spray (in this case just the bridge and not the tailpiece). This picture gives a sneak peak of what's to come. We're going with a Wilkinson roller-saddle bridge, and a Bigsby B5 trem. I'm surprised you don't see more Bigsby's on Firebirds, I think the aesthetic goes perfectly.
At this point it's just a matter of doing some final sanding and then getting it into spray.
We've decided on a 2-tone Sunburst top, transparent brown back, amber tinted neck and of course, a black headstock.
stay tuned!
