Is that a Dussenberg trem? Looks ace!

Whoa!! Wicked!

I am very happy with it - still working on playing it well enough though!

The tuners are from Riot - Firebirds originally had Banjo type tuners - Steinberger produced some for a while. These work well - there are pics earlier in the thread.... See

A quick picture - will get a better one in daylight tomorrow... Attachment : DB642E62-E48F-48B5-8B6F-B12E4A185919.jpeg

I managed to get my head into gear today to do a bit more on my second bandsman build. A bit of routing and bandsawing. Attachment : 11205305-0CA6-496E-B3E5-68C8A3539FBD.jpeg Attachment : ...
