    Good looking kit btw. I was actually watching this vid last night

    That is a great clip....I have had it tagged as a favourite for some time now...and honestly it was the final straw in my decision making process to buy and build this kit.

    I have heard two issues with T Birds mainly:-

    1. The three point bridge pulls out at the back from string pressure....thinking about using epoxy resin to hold mine in. (I have actually been thinking about only doing the epoxy on the two bridge mounting bushings that do not carry the ground wire. Just to TRY to ensure a good earth connection. As the song says two out of three ain't bad. )

    2. The guitar itself is very headstock heavy and can droop forwards...to the point that some people are unable to play it as they find they must hold it up all the time...even with a strap.

    I am thinking about doing this fix....but using black strap locks or strap buttons....see how they look at that time.
