It took a while.
I just never knew what the enlightened few know...
They seem to be an unknown secret.
I wasn't really looking for a new guitar, in fact I declined when it was first offered to me.
But common sense prevailed...
Thanks to Adrian the enabler, this lovely lass came home with me today.

It's beautiful, and a few personal touches got it to my liking.

The trem was decked hard with 3 springs cranked in pretty far.
Pretty useless that way as far as a trem goes.
I set it up to float with light action.
I was able to float it with 2 springs and it's returning to zero really well.
The handle is also tension adjustable via a setscrew that takes the slop & wiggle out of the bar at the same time, but allows it to swing.

The high E string pulls up to an F and the low E string pulls up to G# before the plate decks against the body.

Didn't care for the Chrome knobs so they got swapped for black speed knobs

Have you considered trying to switch hit?

I learned to do several things ambidextrously as a youth -- mostly because Id break and arm or wrist or hand in a stupid Evil Knievel style "stunt" to impress some girl -- and would spend my summers with a cast--- so learned to hit baseballs....and play tennis and basketball --either handed
Ic ant write for :poo: with EITHER hand --- when I play golf I drive right handed but put left handed.........DUDE IM "F"ed up!

Well, here's how it is, JG.
3 hummies will be happening in there by the end of the day...

But yes, the router does get a break. I'm sticking a single size twin blade bucker in the middle.

The middle single coil is kinda useless without coil splitting on the other two buckers to do the Stratish kinda thing, and the stock buckers aren't splittable (2 wire) so...
Away it goes with no body mods...
