    Groovy!
    May I dare suggest that you would be better off with a real Bigsby B50? You can get them from www.realparts.com.au for around the $150... Would look a lot more professional and will sit nicely with the custom engraved plates (not to mention stay in tune a whole lot better) :P

    Oh, and with the Orange, what type of top coats are you going to use?
    As you are most probably aware, I am working up a new range of finishes and stains.

    Email me at dingobass@pitbullguitars.com if you want to discuss this more

    Thanx Guys!
    Its a manmade veneer, last piece of its kind too, the factory that made is is no more so very sad as its a nice piece..only a few guitars worth left,
    Im going to 2Pac clearcoat this one, I need a very hard resin type finnish on this axe,
    Thanx for the advice on the bigsby, Im only using this one as its there, If the new owner wants to upgrade to better hardware they can,Im giving this all away as a gift, they can put the extra hundreds in at their own discretion,If need be, Its going to Hong Kong, Postage will cost more than the guitar ...

    wow that was mighty quick Haydn, so looks like you're putting binding on too, should look excellent when finished. Can't say I've seen a design anything like it !

    It reminds me of a Michael Luenig drawing.. Mr Curly would love this Guitar!.

    I am sure the young lady will be the envy of her peers when she casually takes this out of its case and plugs in
