Thanks, Michael! I felt I owed you as much, given how many times I've requested demoes in your threads. :)
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

Fantastic job!!! I Just got an old jupiter too. As you now the strap buttons on these things suck. How did you mount a strap lock on the butt end of the guitar? If I remove that peg then there is just a big gaping hole. I wanna use this guitar live, but not without strap locks.

Hey! I came across this rather old thread when I was searching for Silvertone Jupiter and Bigsby.
I bought a reissue because the vintage guitars are all too expensive.
now I'm waiting for the Bigsby to arrive. I hope I don't have to shim and fine tune anything.
The neck is already angled and the tunomatic bridge is already quite high.
