i do the PRS method, or at least the way the used to do it. I have a massive radius block a lot longer and wider than the neck. It gets clamped to the bench. I hold the neck fretboard facing down and push it along the block. I only ever push it, not back and forth, but I flip the direction every few swipes so I am either pushing head first or heel first.
oh, I cover the board in white pencil first so progress is easy to see.
it takes about 2 minutes to do a 12" radius on rosewood. I inlay and repeat on the big block. I then fine sand with a hand held block
i got as far as putting the pearloid dots and normal white plastic side dots in tonight. I did consider making pearloid side dots but life's too short.

here are the coils
and since i am working from home today I decided to have a play with drilling the neck cover. I need to re-do as i slightly misdrilled the G& B, and i think the small holes can be neater. I will redo later on another blank cover before removing that weird lip and lightly relicing
but here is an idea of how they will look

It's probably because I'm not used to it on a Lp
Love Marcs pickups btw

there is the bowtie/dogbone version of the same thing but i am not sure about that either
I may just make something totally different

I think the gretsch bridge looks better with the bigsby because of the size of it, the tailpiece is quite small in comparison
I'm with you on the dog bone too, I wouldn't be sure either
If I'm honest I'd probably go tom, not unless you make something that looks right proportionally to the tailpiece
I take it you definitely don't want a wraparound, I know it's not a 52 vibe but they do look good to me

Look back at the pics and vids on the first couple of pages - its not clear what Les and Mary on using on some of the guitars, but it looks to be a very simple design bridge on some of them

Again it's just what I'm used to seeing and only suggestions
Funny how you just get used to seeing something one way and anything else looks wrong

anyway, on with the show. Fretboard has been levelled off post inlay. The neck pickup cover has been reshaped and lightly aged.
after those pics i went back and to the workshop and bound the body with a nice vintage white binding. currently its wrapped up in tape whilst it fully sets and I am peeling weld-on off my fingers

Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.
