ladyscaglyc Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I'm pretty excited about replacing the wood bridge. They're called Tru Arc and they match to the radius of your fretboard. When he first designed them they would fit mostly Gretsch Hollowbodies. I asked him (through the Gretschpages) about making one for the Emperor. He was going to look into the EPIs so it might as well start with mine! The 3-3/32" post to post on the Joe Pass was different than the usual spacing so he's now tooled for that. This model is called "Low Rider Rock Steady" Tru Arc. I ordered Copper to compliment the gold hardware. I can't do a sound clip but sure will post pix when I get it. too excited, can't sleep (GAS symptoms)[-(/

Too many wood bridges don't seat tight against the body.
ladyscaglyc Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 I agree. That's why when we were talking about it (forum chat) he was looking into having this bridge fit the orig. to the guitar base. The Tru Arc will now fit the EPI post spacing & rest on the orig. thumbwheels. LOL, now I know what Mom said about eyes behind her head!
ladyscaglyc Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Tim at TruArc told me the bridge is on it's way. Will post pix as this is kinda new as opposed to refitting with a TOM bridge. This matching radius bridge resembles a Gretsch bar bridge but has been built to fit the orig. Emperor base & posts. Copper to look cool w/gold hardware !
ladyscaglyc Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 I've got the TruArc on the JP. It plays great with a brilliant sound but I can't seem to get the photobucket photo to show. I don't mean to be a ****** but I never thought to pay attention when others asked about photos...(help?) Vinnie [/img]
InsideMan Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I don't mean to be a ****** but I never thought to pay attention when others asked about photos...(help?) 1-Go to your album page in Photobucket. 2-Hover your mouse over the picture you want to post. A list will appear below the picture. 3-Slide the mouse cursor down to 'Direct Link' and click once. A small box will appear that says 'Copied'. 4-Now go to your 'Post a reply' page here and click on the 'Image' icon (the mountains with the sun overhead). 'img][/img' will appear in your message. 5-Click your mouse in between the inner square brackets (']['), right-click the mouse and select 'Paste'. Voila, you have inserted your picture. Cheers.
