Scrap Aluminum Vibrato

[Butch]

Wow Butch, that looks great. Did you use an angle grinder or a dremel or something else?

I used an electric scroll saw, table saw with a 60 tooth carbide tip blade, drill press, belt sander and micro mesh sanding pads.
The bearings are a little bit bigger than standard Mosrite issue, 1/4" ID that I found at the local hardware store,but they seem to work OK. I dont know if I will ever use it on anything.......ya know , more like an experiment.

Nice job! Be prepared to "beef up" that spring...

That was the only spring I had.......where do I find a "Beefy" one ?

I have seen a rubber bushing used on a Canadian built guitar, built by Bob Gander http://www.ganderguitars.com/ ...might be worth a try, since you're experimenting.
