I think the shelton is a variation on the glaser setup
I know they have John Jorgensen as an endorser.
Looks pretty cool,Id like to try one out.

Has anyone played one??
If so let us know

The bridge string shot looks like it would be trouble that close to the barrells. How does that pull the string with the pin right there at the bridge? I would think you would break strings like crazy - especially with threaded saddles! (And you'd hear the string pass over the saddle because of the twisted end of the string!)
The Glaser isn't like that is it?

Wha's up Shuggie!? I ain't forgot about your Hellecaster DVD...we ran into some technical difficulties with the ripper software....

Not a problem my friend :).....................

I think that sheton is similar to the glaser in regards to having one rod connecting the pull hub to the strap puller.

Ya,,I see what you mean about those saddles,,if you had threaded,you'd have to make sure it's strung the same way all the time..of course you'd have to make a groove in a barrel post saddle although some players dont and get good results,so I've heard.............

That pull hub or pin just looks a little uncomfortable for muting...having never played one though I couldnt' say...
