Thanks guys - still torn - but may go with a modern take on the VP - loving the look of the Sandbergs and have some individual bridges in black.

Thoughts - stagger the bridges - black pickguard and hardware - Sandberg styling on the pickguard. Add a thumb rest in black and may have a deal.

Ozz - love the idea of the Entwistles - have some ToneRiders in the VP - would be good to get something hot for the new build.
