a duosonic hardtail. the one that is shaped like a rounded trapezoid.

if you ever want to part out the bronco, ill call dibs on the bridge, if its a decent price.

And yes, the bridge is only one of its problems, but still a big one.
What big bridge problems? I just builted one. Maybe I can hep.

If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

HERE'S WHAT YR GONNA DO:

1. Get a strat style input jack
2. route out a little area on the edge where that divot is
3. PUT THE STRAT JACK IN THE DIVOT so it's like the old Ibanez/Jackson placement that directed the cable up and around the strap.
4. Put a kill switch/tone switch or something cool in the extra PG hole.
5. RAWK

looking good mo! If you don't do the jack in the groove, I think you could easily fill that cut out with wood glud in. and no one would know.

or you could put a tele jack in there since it looks kinda like the flat spot on a tele where the jack is.

glad the bits arrived safe... i had it in my head they'd take 6 months to arrive, delivered by pony express or something.

your guitar'll be eerily similar in setup to the one they came from-
