Actually here's a Warwick bridge set into an LP, looks flat
Welcome, and thanks for your posts.I believe the Warwick bridge does sit flat on a Les Paul bass but there is a neck angle. Hopefully a member who owns one will confirm this.The Warwicks I've seen all have the bridge recessed b/c there's no neck angle.
Nice work, and welcome!7enderbirds are what brought me here originally, and I love the one you built for Scott.I was previously unaware that the LPB-3 used a Warwick bridge.I really like how that looks.What scale length do you have planned for these?
Nuce work so far! I have an LPB-3 but unfortunately I left it at our rehearsal space last weekend. But from memory I'd say the Warwick bridge is recessed flat related to the back of the body plane, not to the neck angle. Same goes for the pickup cavities. Despite the pickup rings being slanted to the neck angle the pickups really don't have enough wiggle room inside to actually follow the string angle perfectly.
Welcome... we have another maker of fine furniture that makes instruments these days too... another who is presently building an LP...Comercial or personal builds, out of curiosity...?
Who else is a furniture maker here?
Orville Gibson made his early instruments out of used furniture………...
