Luthier's dream request

Every Luthier has there funny requests. This particular one comes from the nutbar variety assortment package. I was asked to install a Floyd Rose type bridge onto an acoustic guitar. The photo attached is a mockup for illustration purposes only and strickly for those who are unable to produce there own mental image of the requested product. The image left of here should only be glanced at, so as not to burn too strong an image into the synapses of your brain. It may never leave it….

No one has asked me  to install a rosewood acoustic bridge on their  IBZ  Stevie Vai  Jem ,…….Yet

As it has turned out it is simply just too funny a request to not carry out. Im making a second one that i hope to present to Neil Diamond on his current tour. " Crunchy Granola Suite" will never be the same. Good Lord! 



However, to all you musos out there with to much time on there hands , who are thinking of requesting me to make another. My answer is as follows...

" Fitting a tremelo bridge to an acoustic guitar is like glueing a moustache on a donkey. Very time consuming and utterly pointless" Kevin Nitrovane..
P.S. Does anyone remember Wheatus?
