NGD - No strap line

What's Hot
I dont usually do these any more but I made a promise to @lamf68 I would show these off and quite rightly so, the man is a magician. I dont think my camera skills have done it full justice but due to a combination of time, my house being a building site and other shenanigans I cant break out the SLR. (I will do so at a later date)

A big thank you to @lamf68 for a beautiful spray job. @GSPBASSES for a brilliantly made guitar body and neck and @Mojopickups for another beautiful set of pickups (and a beautifully crafted loom).

(apologies to the traditionalist @GavRichList for my maple fretboard rebellion... probably shouldn't tell you it has 22 frets and a 9.5" radius either :-P )

anyway...








The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Colour is actually called.
    "Translucent Angel wing on a desert sand-dune surrounded by the underbelly of a new born light brindle Cairn Terrier"

    Needless to say I haven't had a lot of people request it since I knocked it up. Hard to gauge what it looks like from the name!
