Very cool. It turned out really well. I’ve always loved copper. How did it work out once in use for a while? Did the strings pull that back lip over under tension since it wasn’t joined to the sides? Just curious because this looks like it’d be worth emulating. Great job
Why Copper? Why not have 6 saddles? Inquiring minds need to know. Thanks 🙏🏻 It’s a good thing that you used the glove. Dull bits could catch. You know and spin. It could have sliced and diced you.. No good 😌 P.S. Isn’t copper the same price as gold these days? 😉🙌🏻 Save the copper dust 😬
Nice! I have been contemplating making a brass bridge , now I have to

Looks great. Just curious, does reversing the slant of the pickup have any advantage or just to be different?
The slant was to boost the treble in the original tele bridge, so this would probably have the opposite effect.
great use of the tape/superglue trick! i was wondering how you were going to measure that hole. killer work!
Thanks!! Thanks for watching!
Looks so cool
And maybe even cooler when it's aged
Gotta have the reverse slant , and when did I loan you my vice grips lol! Nice job!!!!!
Thanks 👍Got a few of those vise grips kicking around lol
Could this also be done with other metals such as brass?
Don't use brass it will kill high frequencies
@@danielbarbieri8199 Lol this comment would have been useful had I not just finished my brass plate
@@britishnerd3919
Sorry mate...🤷
Now you have to decide tone or look
@@danielbarbieri8199 look, for sure
did you braise/solder the corners of the box? might help a bit with structural integrity
No there's no need. 16 gauge copper is pretty thick at .063 inches or 1.25mm. Its plenty strong for what it does.
