New guitar day ,old floyd saddle day too!

jrf8 · 02-26-2008, 03:10 AM

besides the light rubber band stock strings and a crappy d string saddle replaced with other crappy saddle? the guitar is great, i restrung it, little intonation and it was good to go.

this is the only picture i took of it finally restringed and i cleaned up the frets and the board.

the stock strings were burnt and lots of metal flake from the frets

fret job on mine is really nice, compared to the bolt on 27 (blue one)

don't suppose you'd be at all interested in buying a full set of brand new black OFR-7 saddles, would you?

MF_Kitten · 02-26-2008, 07:48 AM

what was up with that saddle that made it need a replacement?

also, burnt strings? metal flakes? :P

and what did you remove the neck on the bolt-on for? fret maintenance? :P

the saddle on lfr's ofr's are rivited together were the screw meets the string so it has room to bend, the lfr's are thrown together so sometimes they arent flush, its hard to explain, i could of grinded the bottom of the saddle down to level it but i just used a spare.

i think that there was a bit of metal flake on the fretboard from not being cleaned after the frets were dressed and sanded, and i just meant that the strings just sucked and needed to be replaced, plus i play 11's and it came with 9's.

the neck is from a 25 scale interceptor, i thinned and recarved the contour and feel on the neck and im building a new alder body for it.

the green interceptor i got is the 25 scale the blue bolt on one in the other pic is an older 27 inch scale one.
