Hey man that looks and sounds AMAZING!!! I have both a Sonic and Bullet that I want to add the tremolo and bridge simply for cosmetic purposes so it looks more like a Mustang. I want to remove the cigar bar and lock it down. Can you tell me what tremolo unit and bridge you used and where you purchased it from? Thanks

I had an original Artist burst back in the late ‘70s, fashioned, of course, after a Les Paul. I loved that guitar through my band days but wouldn’t have another one, lol. That thing was about the same weight as a Paul but had this baseball bat size neck that would make any SG player proud it was so head heavy. I bought it on sale for about 350.00 with a list of over 700.00. Now you can’t touch a worn out original for less than 1500.00 plus, rediculous.

Those harmonica bridges have massive adjutment of the saddle position, I often wonder if they were used because the manufacturer had issues with setting the necks in the correct position. I like double cut guitars, I have been trying to get a hold of a Yamaha SG 3000 in great condition and reasonably priced, I feel I need to slightly lower my expectations though. I have two Les Pauls with fret nibs, one has no string issues at all whereas the other one regularly gets its high E string trapped, I feel this guitar also needs a refret on it, and get shut of the nibs.
@CavershamGuitars Ай бұрын
If you're local to the Reading area my price for a refret is £200.

I think it is. It works much better than a regular sucker because the heat stays on the part and it makes a better seal when sucking because you don't have to work around the soldering iron. If you often need to remove components I'd say it's a must have tool.
