Tomorrow is a 15 hour photo shoot for my biz.... I wanna finish!
OK, I'm confused. You're just talking about the saddle right and not the bridge itself? I hope the bridge didn't split on you. That'd really suck!

Now if the bridge is on OK then did you do the straight-edge check?

The neck looks good - I love the volute - but I'm gonna have to look back in the thread to see how much work you put into it. What kind of tuning machines are they? Waverly or Grover Sta-Tites?

Sorry if I'm nit-picking here. I'm actually really inspired - though I'm too lazy to do it myself. I can't wait until I see it at the jam.
