Hi Blues -
This one uses a vintage Gretsch for the neck and a custom-wound Dawgtown in the bridge. The break angle over the bridge was too shallow, even with a 4-degree angle to the neck, so he fabricated a bar to hold down the strings from alu and delrin, you can see it in the photo.
This one was made to order for a specific customer to his design.
I'm waiting for my own next - 3-pup tele with B- and G-benders. A Filtertron neck would have been cool, though. Maybe September.
