Wrap around bridge

G-Man

Hi Guys

Looking for a wraparound bridge for a project, anybody have one lying around? Similar to this

Schaller Signum!

Do it!

Seriously though it's a question of budget, are you looking for a regular wrap around bridge? Cause your first picture looks like a Mighty Might MMBM004C, and those aren't too expensive ?

I'm looking to do something that will be frowned upon, but anyway here is the plan...

I have an Ibanez Xiphos that is badly banged up and needs refinishing and rewiring etc etc.

And I want to reshape it, convert to single pick up fill in the cavity etc and make it look like this...

Looks like there's enough meat on the Xiphos to do it... Anyone think it's a terrible idea

Still pointy but not lethal ?
Lekker to give a banged up old axe new lease of life.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU IS RUINING IT!

But for serious.
Just my opinion, but the Xiphos has a beautiful body. It really seems like a waste to get rid of those sexy edges.

Why not just have a body made in the shape you want? Far better than messing a good one up.

Getting the new mounting done for the new hardware + refinish + plugging the old mountings + getting the edges done = more effort than it could possibly be worth. Just get someone to make a new body to fit that neck.

It's gonna be cheaper to just have a new body built! ? Just my 5 cents worth!

my opinion? that's one mean-looking axe you'll end up with. it'll be unique; like a custom-made black silk suit. you just need to figure out if all the blood, sweat and gutting will be worth it.
