Maybe I could fill the control cavity with lead shot!

Or do it in the style of the Derek Trucks SG and fill the inside cavity if the Maestro plate with weight...

Add a couple of strips of wheel weights, adhered to the back of the lyre’s chrome cover...tuned to balance.

I like the wheel weight idea!

Sysco,
That is exactly what I need, the Maestro look without the tuning issues associated with it. PERFECT!:dood:

There is a Derek Trucks Vibrola frame on eBay right now, but of course, no cover to go with it.

 

[Hackmaster]

FYI, the B7 weighs in right at a pound, if that's any help.

Hack did you have to pop out the pin and flip the rear hinge bracket around to use the B7 with a Vibramate V7?

 

[Hackmaster]

Yes, It's a must to add the extra bit of length you need.
The back of the hinge is rough cast. It needs to be smoothed & polished for a clean look because the back now becomes the front.


I'll toss a smoothed & polished one in the care package for you.
Just send me your original one back.

Maybe Gahr still has the one he took off of his DT SG.

Thanks very much for the gracious offer Hack, but I still haven’t decided which way I will go.
I can smooth and polish the one that comes with the B7 If I end up getting one.

I’ll PM him and find out.

 

[ninjaking67]

I spoke with Gahr and he wants to keep the Lyre cover as he really isn't sure whether he wants it on or off his guitar. Who can blame him! They look awesome!

 

[JohnnyGoo]

I vote a real B7.

Ya try hittin that chord comming from any other chord . I never use it enough to get profiecnt at it. When i was a kid my Dad would make me strum rythum while he played lead and i think it was the song Memphis that used that chord. When i got to that chord i would cheat and just use a B 5th style chord and my Dad would either give me a dirty look or stop and we would start over lol. i was only like 9 or 10 years old. So ya Norm me and that chord dont see eye to eye 51 years later.
