  1. It hasn’t been easy to hold off on the post about the bridge that went on #0101. After having this idea bouncing around in my head for a number of years, dialing in the final design for the last two and finally being tested through 10+ iconic amps in the last couple of weeks to make sure it lived up to my expectations…..I could not have been happier with the results…. Based on Hamer/Jol’s brilliant string through the body of the “Sustain Block”, “Working Man” bridge has two major differences….. each saddle has its own base that can move/swing independently from the others, letting each string’s vibration/sustain/sound travel without having to go through the whole base of the bridge, resulting in a fuller, clearer sound and sustain as each string retains its own individuality… the “secret” material used to make it is just ( or perhaps even more ) as important as the design of the bridge. The long search and research for it led me to the only place I can get it from… Recess for the intonation springs in the “back wall”, as well as the intonation screw holes drilled following the radius of the fingerboard are just a couple of smaller details. Many thanks to Rodi ( who’d be more than happy to answer any questions ) for spending hours of testing on his many kick ass amps and to all of my friends for their support and encouragement! I would also like to thank my good old, genius friend Keith who’s engineering and machinist’s talents helped me bring my idea to life… Everybody involved could only describe this bridge as….. “BAD ASS”!!!

  3. Oh, no! I have been wrong all this time, thinking Rush was better than Metallica, but Metallica did a song in 5/4 time and Rush did a lot of 7/8 time. So, Metallica were mathematically better than Rush.

  5. Congrats Mike, this looks great! I hope I get to try one somewhere down the road. The saddles seem pretty similar to the sustain block ones and I'm a big fan of sustain blocks :-)
