Throwback #TeleTuesday to a wonderful western-motif artsy partsycaster put together by @tomgibson3783 (with possible stylistic input from @michaelsegui, who never met a guitar that couldn't be #Bigsby-fied!). . It has a custom routed shell pink pine body (super lightweight) with @tksmithguitar Cast Aluminum Replica pickup and horseshoe inlaid pickguard, Bigsby B16 w/Chet Atkins arm, and #EmbieConcepts #Embiematic bridge. The arm rest was fabricated by Tom himself! . . #fender #telecaster #tele #fendertelecaster #partscaster #homemadeguitar #diy #tksmith #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #fenderguitars #vintagefender #tone #guitargear #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitargear #vintagegear #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxVvefBGZE/?igshid=g33km4s8jhka

Bridgeturday: the second installment. . The @embieconcepts bridge on @tomgibson3783's 2008 125th Anniversary #Gretsch #WhiteFalcon is one of the most intricate, interesting, and photogenic #guitar-related mechanical contraptions I have ever seen! I could take pictures of it all day. . #gretschguitars #gretschwhitefalcon #embieconcepts #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPXRUkBw1Z/?igshid=7zey76vvldul

You know what day it is*... But do you know what you are looking at? This is an extreme closeup (courtesy of a 20mm macro ring on a 60mm Nikon macro lens!) of the @embieconcepts #Embiematic bridge (a skin-saving replacement for the stock #Melitabridge) on @tomgibson3783’s #Gretsch #WhiteFalcon. . . * it’s #MacroMonday! . . #macro #macrophotography #guitarmacro #embieconcepts #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #gretschguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gretschguitarsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx9p5zmhgxD/?igshid=nlw4xmemo43l

Flashback #MacroMonday to @tomgibson3783’s #Gretsch #WhiteFalcon and it’s upgraded (and ever so photogenic) @embieconcepts #Melita style bridge. This design is SO MUCH easier to play than the regular Melita “Synchro-Sonic”/“Space Control” bridge with its saddle adjustment knobs that stick straight up and make any kind of palm muting against the bridge a living nightmare of discomfort and annoyance! 😀 I’m posting this for my friend, #Brazilian artist @speto who just got an incredible @dunamizguitars custom Western Orange #FlyingV done up in full Gretsch cosmetics with a standard design #SyncroSonic Melita bridge. (See the @dunamizguitars feed for pictures of this crazy beautiful Gretsch/#Gibson blend). #speto #dunamizguitars #embieconcepts #macro #macrophotography #guitarmacro #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #gretschguitars #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #vintagegear #gretschguitarsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu35ZGVHt1c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cswcfx29ks3c

And here’s the “Tomcaster” from the last post. #SmithEquipped with @tksmithguitar C.A.R. open topped pickup in the neck position, “horseshoe” guard, armrest, #EmbieConcepts bridge, and @bigsby B16. This one has left the building, but it fun to have around here for a few months...thanks for the loan @tomgibson3783! #partscaster #telecaster #tele #teletuesday #fender #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #fenderguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitargear #vintagegear #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography

I can’t get over the beauty of the upgraded @embieconcepts #EmbieMatic bridge on @tomgibson3783’s #Gretsch #WhiteFalcon. And from what I read in the comments the last time I posted a shot of this bridge, the flat slothead adjustment screws make a huge difference in comfort and playability vs. The traditional #Melita #Syncrosonic thumbwheels. #embieconcepts #stlouismo guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #gretschguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gretschguitarsofinstagram #guitarphotography

I think I found a #guitar bridge that I enjoy photographing even more than a #Stratocaster bridge! @embieconcepts #EmbieMatic bridge on @tomgibson3783’s #Gretsch #WhiteFalcon for #macromonday. #macro #macrophotography #guitarmacro #embieconcepts #mbwilson #stlouismo #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #gretschguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gretschguitarsofinstagram #guitarphotography
