Build three, code named, The Strat-o-Tele
Noicely done!
all 3 builds look great Paul, looks like you need a G type axe in your collection now !
So the strat-o-tele has working tremelo ?
Is that a Hohner whammy on Black Widow?
Good collection there but agree it needs some G type mates too.
Greetings all, in answer to questions, a G type axe well i have a Jay Turser Les Paul that i picked up on eBay a few years ago so not had call to build one but i recently picked up a Les Paul by Vintage with a broken neck i repaired

My Jay Turser
Yes the trem works on the Strat-o-Tele
The trem on the Black Widow is of unknown origin as i bought a strat copy years ago for parts and it was fitted to it as a modification by the previous owner.
love the Jay Turser Paul, looks very cool. Those inlays look cool and love the shade of blue and the flame cap. How does it sound nice and crunchy ?
nice stuff Paul, welcome
The Turser has a lovely tone, the guitarist in one of my bands raves over it but he's addicted to black guitars.
It is pretty much identical to the whammy on my old Hohner SG Lion.

Definitely not a Kahler flat mount. I replaced the whammy on mine with a Kahler for most of the time I owned it. A Kahler has an axle that rolls the strings back over fixed rollers. This is really a very fancy knife-edge trem with self contained internal springs. There is no back cavity like a Strat or Floyd style bridge. Just a massive front rout.
