That's so awesome! Is ETS still making your bridges, or did you find another machine shop?

[Basvarken]

It's still ETS yes. There is no other option really...

Oh my.  My pants just got tighter in certain places.

Amazing! So cool. I'm more of an 8-string guy myself, but can definitely appreciate a beauty like this.

Nice range of tones. I like both pickups in humbucker mode.
