The usual "I'd never thought I do this" but I genuinely thought I was going to keep this.

I've had it from new in the last three years hardly played it in favour of a Strat. It plays fantastic and has been professionally fitted with Voodoo Pickups which in my opinion are absolutely fantastic and everyone who has played it has remarked on them. I will change the truss rod cover back to the plain one it came with. There is a little fret wear and some buckle marks on the back which I have tried to show. Because the pickups are nickel plated I replaced the tail-stop but never got around to the bridge, I personally prefer the nickel to the chrome. It all adds mojo

Oh, wow!!

HoraceB · February 2017

Bump.

bodhi · February 2017

Nice. I almost bought one of those a few years back, but didn't have the cash.

Still don't have the cash

Beauty.

HoraceB · February 2017

Although my heart's not in it, here's a bump and price drop to boot.

HoraceB · February 2017

The guitar I was selling this for has now gone. So I'm going to keep this and try to convince her that I do still love her.

Freebird · February 2017

Good choice mate. Why don't you fit a nickel bridge? That should rekindle the love affair

HoraceB · February 2017

@Freebird That's damn fine advice sir! I'm bloody well going to do it!

Kylef · February 2017

I'd recommend a Faber on there, and my first port of call would be @streethawk who is a Faber dealer, and a splendid guy to deal with.

HoraceB · February 2017

@Kylef many thanks for that, I'll contact him strait away.

Faber stuff is incredibly well engineered, the first one I fitted, I thought was the wrong size until I realised that the posts weren't level, the tolerances are "that" good

antifash · February 2017

Well. If you do decide to sell it in future, get in touch.

HoraceB · March 2017

Yep, ordered a new bridge thanks for all the advice. @antifash will do.

bodhi · March 2017

I can vouch for Faber hardware, too. Good value for the money, and much better quality than the stock Gibson stuff. Just make sure you don't lose those little retainer circlips when you swap saddles around. I ordered some spare circlips from @streethawk the last time I bought a bridge from him.

I can also recommend the Faber insert kit thingy to replace the stock Nashville bridge post inserts.

This proved helpful to me:
