Cut/file a slot wide enough to fit your caliper snuggly. Not perfect but a bit better than without it. Excellent invention. Stew Mac $150 tool is being copied right now, not $50. I thought you measured the fret too so I'm learning everyday from my HFC members.
WorstBandName Posted January 11, 2025 Posted January 11, 2025 Anyone here grab this one? Happy it's off the market as it was one of the few guitars I was keeping an eye on.

The one in this add is 2001. Please chime in, but in my opinion they would have been made the same year. My very vague recollection is that the SB-77 run that was available to order at the HFC event was 8-9 guitars, as Stonge said, limited to the amount of unpitted/usable late '80s/early '90s gold Sustainblocks they found in storage. I think this one was ordered separately from the HFC run a few years later when another leftover bridge resurfaced, but I don't recall the dealer. These guitars were based on the 1989-1991 Sunburst platform (not the 1977, despite the name), and that's most obvious by the positioning of the Sustainblock to the bridge pickup. These also had the milled down 1/4" matched tops v. the one-piece veneer of the originals. Kim Keller would likely remember best, in any event.
