  • We finally have this guitar assembled; now I just need to set it up. Unfortunately I've been having some trouble with the assembly footage, so in this video we're going to to take a quick look at the guitar, and more specifically at the really cool bridge it has from Babicz.
    In the next view we will cover some of the assembly, setup, and probably a demo. Should be fun!

    I absolutely LOVE Babicz bridges! They're functionally great! Railhammer pickups are quite solid, too.

    I just installed the same bridge on my Parker style guitar kit. I love Babicz bridges, solidly built, and top-notch quality..

    Man what a great looking ax. I like what I see with the Babicx bridge, I like those pickups and all. There are no tips I can give you Brad, you have covered all the bases. Nice job!

    I love that bridge & saddle big time! I’ve never seen this before

      It’s amazing what they’re coming out with these days.

    That's a great bridge idea. Gibson should have been using something like that long ago! Sometimes saying "It aint broke so don't fix it" is just a lazy way to not admit being wrong. Always look for a way to improve! Way to go Babicz!

    Love that flame top and the satin finish.
    I’ve been looking at those bridges for a while.

    Hey Brad!
    I only have one Babicz bridge on a Tele here, and it is a very well made piece man, agreed 👍
    As they say typically, you get what you pay for 😊 That LP style axe came out beautifully, really nice job!

  • @richardhinton4232
    @richardhinton4232 3 месяца назад

    Beautiful guitar and great work as usual man I love seeing all your projects. Quick question what would be the cheapest way to Mill down a guitar body to a specific thickness I'm thinking about making or buying a router sled and using my router or maybe buying a thickness planer but idk when id ever use them again and they're not cheap

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      I did it by building a shallow box that fit the guitar body, and then using two pieces of cheap angle iron with holes in it. I bolted those to the router rather than the plexi glass plate so it would glide over the box edge, essentially making my own sled.

    I was looking up videos of this bridge yesterday. It's similar to a Kahler, which is my favorite. The Kahler also has individual string spacing adjustment by moving the saddles. Have you ever installed a Kahler fixed bridge or temolo? On the Kahler tremolo you can also turn a simple hex screw and turn it into a fixed bridge.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад +1

      I’ve played one, but I’ve never installed one. That sounds like a great setup. I’m a huge fan of the Ibanez zr bridges, but they’re pretty complicated.

  • @pistolpete7280
    @pistolpete7280 3 месяца назад +1

    I've had my eye on this bridge for a while. Seems pretty cool. The adjustability is a really intriguing feature. I just don't like the babicz logo on the tailpiece.

    • @dpdupuis5
      @dpdupuis5 3 месяца назад

      You could use your original tail piece if you'd like (assuming you're talking about an LP style guitar)

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      Yeah the huge wording in it is a bit much.

    • @pistolpete7280
      @pistolpete7280 3 месяца назад

      Just ordered a black one for my Schecter Solo II ATX. $300 CAD later let's see if its worth the hype, lol@@BradAngove

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      They’re definitely not cheap.

  • @tdlvsabs
    @tdlvsabs 3 месяца назад

    if you use a kit body or home made without predrilled holes can you mount the tailpiece a little farther back so you dont hit the finish with the allen wrench?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      Yes, you can mount the stop tail farther back.

  • @dpdupuis5
    @dpdupuis5 3 месяца назад

    I've installed a few of those on basses, they're great bridges and the design is great. On a separate note I couldn't seem to focus on anything in the video besides your uncut strings wiggling all over the place lol

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      Haha yeah, I prefer to set up and tune the first time before trimming the strings.

  • @pavlepaja7642
    @pavlepaja7642 3 месяца назад

    i wanna hear how it sounds

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      You should listen to the demo then.

  • @jugheadjones5458
    @jugheadjones5458 3 месяца назад

    The saddles are prettier and apparently much more functional than the standard wedge-shaped saddles. Purty bridge hardware!

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад +1

      It’s a pretty fancy piece of equipment haha.

    I just got a babicz... i have been too scared to put it on. I have the epiphone thunderhorse or a heritage h150. help me choose what to do people :P
    Ill try to make up my mind checking out the vid XD How does the babicz feel while palm muting?

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      These are pretty tough to beat. They’re nice and round:smooth so I would think it will feel nice when palm muting.

  • @philip914
    @philip914 3 месяца назад

    say goodbye to palm muting

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      There’s no reason palm muting would be any harder with this than with a more typical tunomatic.

    • @philip914
      @philip914 3 месяца назад

      Demo would be good@@BradAngove

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      Indeed. Its coming.

    It’s all fun until someone loses an eye.

    • @BradAngove
      @BradAngove  3 месяца назад

      Haha yeah. I like to do my setup and tune before trimming the strings, but I am at risk of tickling myself for sure.
