Got her back from the luthier today

Upgraded the pickups to the Lollar Firebird pickups (NOT Cheap! :o ), Bigsby, and Vibramate.

She's DONE now. Finally.

This video helped me to make the decision to buy the Lollar Firebird pickups...

Very nice looking Harry! Those pickups sound incredible!!!

I love bits and pieces from Firebirds, but I always wanted to see opposite versions. Can you imagine how cool a non-reverse body would look with the reverse headstock like on yours here? :w00t: :? :? :?

NR-bodies with reverse headstocks are out there, pretty sure I've seen a pic of one. Probably some super rare 1964 transition unit.

also don't feminise guitars, people! (or boats, or cars) it's icky! :-X :fp:

Almost there.... :ph34r: You need to change the top hat knobs against reflector knobs with silver inserts.
