Best of luck with getting your 330, as you mention.
My Lightshow conversion made by Paul is what I call a LS336, because I had him install an Accent vibrato to it. I don't think he made any others like that, though it is pretty easy to retrofit one on.

Fireglo lightshow. Now there a rare one. I’ve seen pictures.

Also, my last name has an “s,” so the plural is either Howes’ or Howes’s. The possessive of, say, Steve Howe, is Howe’s. #imsorry
Class dismissed! Thanks for the clarification. (it was a typo!) :mrgreen:

Fun fact, an Accent vibrato wouldn't actually work on an original lightshow because they don't have a the carved ramp, so the taller Accent would give almost no break angle over the bridge at all.

If that’s true...oh my.
Yea it's absolutely true, lol. It went thru the family room hall and stuck the headstock inside our bedroom. We were young and she's a redhead. She's calmed down a bit in the past 18 years though.

Haven't shaved in a few days? :mrgreen:

There's nothing wrong with correcting one's spelling, grammar, etc. After all, we're all here for the truth, so to speak. :mrgreen:
