Guitar's back at Joel's
Finally.... Took a hell of a time, but the guitar is back at Joel's shop.
It's rather cold in Calgary at the moment so the guitar will settle for about a week before getting worked on by joel for the fret and bridge job. Few pictures of the beauty (others to come soon) :

Finished and polished Rocklite Bridge :
Placed but not glued yet over the guitar : I really like this slightly asymetrical bridge to fit the global design, nice touch !

New pictures !
The bridge is being glued with a vaccum machine that helps to even the clamping pressure. Nice looking neck here : next to come, the fret job !

Strung up
Only a dummy Saddle in Ebony at the moment, but the beauty is strung up.
Apparently it holds great results soundwise so far. I think she'll stay like that for a while so she can get used to being a guitar and accomodate for the strings tension, then she'll go through the intonation process

May I ask where you sourced the tuning machines from?

This is really stunning! I have a strong preference for larger guitars but when I recently visited TGEG in Singapore, the Michaud OMR was my top pick over all of Marcus' collection of beautifully handcrafted guitars that I tried that afternoon. Although I was there to pick up my Mod D, I yielded defeat that Michaud's was just insane, the most fundamental sounding RW guitar i have ever played.

Thanks! Only one mounting screw? I guess the shaft and locking nut provide the other anchor point.
