Nice workmanship is always appreciated...

Fan of the gold fin too...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

The hex-plate design is not just about cosmetics.

It was developed in conjunction with my universal rout that allows me to incorporate any pickup winding style made by Fender, Gibson or Gretsch on any guitar or bass without modification.

From there, I decided to incorporate the hex-plate shape in the design aesthetic of the other hardware elements.

The rout itself is a cross between a Thunderbird and a dog-ear P90:



It allows me to do this...Lollar Thunderbird:



Fralin Big Single, Jazz bass, or split P/J pickup:



ANY humbucker or Fralin Split Single/Twangmaster:



TV Jones Thunder'Blades or Filter'Trons:
