This guitar has 68 frets. 68! How skinny would your fingers have to be to fret anywhere past the 5th or so. Don't even want to think of the microtonal garbage that would come from playing it. Also, dodgy paintjob.

might as well put this in the ugly thread Pabs, who has finger tips about 2mm wide ?
Agree very average paint job and is the Floyd trem cavity about 4 miles too long ?

That silvering the person is referring to is what's called the getter, it's purpose is to absorb any trace gasses left inside the glass envelope after it has been sealed after all the air has been pumped out, this does a couple of things, firstly it ensures that the heater doesn't burn out, secondly it ensures that the valve can operate properly.
Yuck.. and that fretboard makes my head spin!Quote:

And I don't see the logic in joining two trem-springs together like that either.

Many years ago I stood on a hot soldering iron wearing black nylon socks, the result was a groove in the sole of my foot sealed by a melted and dried black dressing
