Members Vespertine Posted November 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks guys headless: Yup, the rollers are different in size. Surprisingly enough, the guitar is pretty well intonated. and luckily it has .10s on it, which is what I normally use. However, if for some reason I were to change gauges in the future I can see that becoming an issue.... but what hell, that's why we all play more than one guitar :rawk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vespertine Posted November 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I like the bridge. Are those rollers? My Dorchester has rollers on the bridge. I love it. They are. Actually, I think that the combination of that extra fret at the nut, and the rollers, is the key to making the trem system work so smoothly. The strings just glide through them. Out of curiosity. Does anyone know any info "or where could I find it" on this particular model? I've been trying to google it as well as ebay , but I ended up with nothing.

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 Very Cool. Yea you paid a lot, but it looks clean enough to be worth it.When I find those they are usually trashed and the pawn shops still want 50-100 for em.

Members headless Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 nice,...but $200. That's just crazy It's such a clean example, that I'd only classify is as, "a little crazy".
