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.

Re: Supro Wesbury : Offset or not ?
Thank you, Guys !
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.

Well, I installed this tremolo with success on four of my guitars - it's the Duesenberg Super Tremola (part. N° TDBSLN - Lefty version) :CorporateDisguise wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 4:25 pmSo rad. When I see these, it makes me miss Rhoney Guitars.

Re: Supro Wesbury : Offset or not ?
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 !
Or I stay "classy-classic" :
Or I go "classy-fancy" :
Well... What do you think, Guys ?

Re: Supro Wesbury : Offset or not ?
anyone got that post where it's like "how to tell if it's offset" and at one point they test a dog?

On the used market, these guitars sell for criminally low prices. I got a Hampton for $400 shipped.JamesSGBrown wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 1:02 amThe Supro stuff isnt cheap but is all very well made. Their baritones are fantastic!
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.
