Got her back from the luthier today
Upgraded the pickups to the Lollar Firebird pickups (NOT Cheap! ), 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?

NR-bodies with reverse headstocks are out there, pretty sure I've seen a pic of one. Probably some super rare 1964 transition unit.Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 1:36 amI love bits and pieces from Firebirds, but I always wanted to see opposite versions.

Almost there.... You need to change the top hat knobs against reflector knobs with silver inserts.
What a great guitar!
