    Good collection there but agree it needs some G type mates too.

    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 ?

    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.
