I'm trying to identify the make of this trem thats fitted to my Tanglewood Tomkat, I like the single point string height adjustment. Iv'e read that it might be an Entwistle, does anyone recognize it.

@deej After further googling, I think that the Hagstrom F200p is the guitar that these terms were fitted to. I now think it's a Hagstrom FCS-1. The reason I'm trying to identify is that I haven't got an arm for it.

I managed about 15mins of today’s session before I got called into another 90min VC session.

😢

 

And I’ve just - it’s 1930! - finished my day’s work.

😢😢😢

 

At least I’m in time for wine o’clock.

 

Wanted to watch this session too.  Ah well, weekend ... (once I’ve mown the grass again)

I've never made a guitar with a trem (not even a fretless bass with one) but a couple of years ago, surfing the waves of the internet I came across the Stetsbar. Never seen anyone playing a guitar with one, but it's an interesting trem, though quite expensive.

@marcel That does look interesting but watching this video does make me sad. Michael Casswell was an amazing guitar player, so sad he died so young and in the way he did. He gave a lot to the guitar community including his album “Complaints about the noise” 

 Unearthed is a great song.

@marcel Michael Casswell’s use of the trem in his playing is sublime. He is missed. RIP

Hey @deej how are you doing? Are you getting much time for guitar building at the moment? I’m not, I’m decorating the house.

Hi @boo I’m not getting chance to do anything at all as work has gone bonkers...Ou might have seen me less on here as the cause. I think I may be able to sort building again in the next couple of weeks.

 

I hope the house is looking good pal..
