MGB is pleased to announce our latest template, this template will aid in locating our Tele Style bridges. Precise location of these bridges is critical in making a cbg that will be easy to tune and intonate. It will also aid in getting the strings properly located/centered in relation to the fret board. This template works with our Easy Neck, Super Neck and Super Sixer Neck. It works with our 3 String XL bridges, 4 String Bridges and our 6 String Bridges.  Using the E-System is easy. Mark the center line of the box. We suggest using Blue tape and a pencil or pen Position the body of the template on the box lining it up with the center line and the neck end of the box.  Temporarily secure the template with Blue tape. Each insert is marked with the neck/bridge combination that it is meant to work with. Select the appropriate template insert that matches the neck and bridge you are using. Before attaching the bridge to the box do a dry fit and make sure the distance from the nut to leading edge of the saddles corresponds to the sale length. This is a critical step, always confirm that the location of the bridge is correct before drilling and installing screws.

This new body from MGB provides a perfect platform for building a cool round body instrument. The size works well with the very popular 12 inch round metal signs. The kit includes our new Maple Ring body, a top plate and a rear cover. (Neck and hardware are not included.) The kits comes in two sizes, the 11 inch includes an11 inch top plate that is exactly the same size as the ring, the 11.5 inch includes a 11 1/2 inch top plate that overhangs the body by 1/4 inch. Most 12 inch signs are not actually 12 inches; from experience we find they are actually 11 1/2 inches. We suggest you get your sign first and determine the size before you buy the body. Amazon and Ebay list a wide assortment of 12 inch signs as well as the smaller 8 inch signs This body may provide a challenge on installing a neck. The body and or the neck will need to be fitted carefully to get the centerline of the neck to match with the center line of the body. For those using an Easy Neck let us know and we will provide a neck shim to aid in installing the neck. There is a cut out on the top that allows the ghost mounting of a flat pup. The body is maple and the top and back plates are Birch plywood.

For those thinking outside the box, the new MGB Maple Ring provides a platform for some innovative thinking and creativity. Features include: 11 inch outside diameter 10 inch inside diameter 1/2 wall thickness 2 1/2 inch tall Plywood core and Maple veneer on exterior and interior surfaces. Very solid construction able to handle stresses involved in building a instrument.
