So rad. When I see these, it makes me miss Rhoney Guitars.
Anyway, how do you like the trem? I’ve been considering getting one of the long tail versions for my Riviera.

Well, I installed this tremolo with success on four of my guitars - it's the Duesenberg Super Tremola (part. N° TDBSLN - Lefty version) :
I'd say consider them as "Bigsby on Steroids" with a smooth action thanks to a less stiffer than the usual Bigsby spring, and a binding-flawless front roller. The long tail version, called Radiator, has the exact same excellent mechanism.

Now with a nice Deluxe Les Paul (generic) case and a handmade leather strap :
Next - and last step - pickguard change, mainly to displace pots and selector further from pickups - particularly the volume pot !

The Supro stuff isnt cheap but is all very well made. Their baritones are fantastic!
On the used market, these guitars sell for criminally low prices. I got a Hampton for $400 shipped.
The pickups are really the selling point IMO. Every time I think about getting a Strat or Tele, I decide against it because the gold foils are pretty much what I *wish* Strat/Tele single coils sounded like. Throw in the cliches like "Strat pickups turned up to 11" or "Tele on steroids" here
And totally agreed about the baritones. I got a Hampton baritone, too!
The only issue I have is that the necks are slightly wider and the fretboard slightly flatter than I prefer.
