more bronco fun!

dodgedartdave said: what pickup are you going with? That will help me decide if you are creating the best bronco ever. (Mine is hard to beat).

It's an SD Duckbucker.

thanks for the kind words everyone. ill record some sounds soon. I mainly just want to record me standing infront of my computer monitor with no static coming out of my amp. thats the best part. right now i have the pickup screwed down pretty far so the output is comparible to a mustang pickup. the wide range of tone it puts out is crazy though. I'll try raising it up sometime this week

The Bronco looks wicked.

Sorry to rag on the sketches.

The sketches look pretty decent to me from a drawing standpoint, you must be an amazing draftsman to find those sucky.

robroe

for those of you wondering what shade of white it is exactly. here it is next to the supersonic.

sure looks Olympic White to me...

This bridge/tremolo looks SO awesome. I'm sorry if it has already been asked, Rob, but which tremolo/bridge is this? The original one? 🙄

Aug

it's a Bronco bridge, d00der.

nietz

I really did not know about it.

Aug

most people don't. there's a new guy here, dodgedartdave, who lives about 5 blocks from me, he's really heavy into broncos, musicmasters and whatnot...he just bought 10 bronco bridges, and even took the time to explain how they work and all that.

Needless to say, I'm buying one of his Broncos as a project guitar...should be fun. 😁

robroe

im going to try and monkey with the side screws to lower the bridge a little. its got a ways to go before it frets out

That's pretty sweet. I still woulda gone with a mint pickguard but whatever.

Yep, the bridge looks really cool all shined up (no idea if they are any good like).

dimsar

the guitar looks really nice beside the coil. Looks too new wave for my kind of taste.

i have been known to photograph well wearing an armsock

I started my engineering career on the drafting board (not cad) and owen's sketches are pretty damn good!

Rob that Bronco looks sweet as hell....

To Rob, Aug & DDDave, how good / bad is that trem? Pros? Cons?

Hey, I wasn't bagging out the sketches themselves.

I just wanted a more accurate depiction of what the Bronco pickguard would look like on a Jag-stang body, i.e a photo, or photoshop rendition.

plus I was drunk when I said they suck.

It's so funny you mention that. I got a drafting table for my friend on craigslist, atleast once a week there is somebody on there giving one away as all the old schoolers finally realize they only use their computers.

So basically we're going to be ####ed if "The Man" shuts down electricty 😁.

One of my friends is majoring in Architecture and he still has to draw out most of his work by hand on a drafting table, he barely ever uses CAD, he said the same thing about everyone giving away their old drafting tables though, that's how he got his.

If I get a bigger place, I'll probably get one again. There are some things I like about manual drafting, plus I was pretty damn good at it.

agreed. my degree ( initially ) was for for architecture. In 89-90 we did both manual and computer rendering...
