That's very cool. I like the 'Cross' raised above the plate surface.

Re: Cross Guitars - projects and restorations
oh dude that's a sweet trem. i've always liked the idea of a jazzmaster trem with a long plate that goes up to the bridge. kinda like an et270 trem only with a mustang style plate..... and longer.
damn i need to get some metal work tools.
