Aged Bowtie Bridge.

Happy eBaying, y'owl,

An oldie but goodie Gary. Looks like water over a troubled bridge.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I'll stick this TUXEDO question in the BLACK TIE thread.

Aside from the 21 frets and the maple fretboard, one of the differences in a Carl Wilson 360 is the thinner wood used in the body. This (so I'm told) gives it a slightly different sound.

Does a 360 Tuxedo also have thinner wood? Are there differences in a Tuxedo (compared to a regular 360) other than the color and binding?

OOPS... let me rephrase that.... the Tuxedo is the one with the maple fretboard (with dots instead of triangular inlays).

Is the body of a Tuxedo 360 different than the body of a regular 360 in any way?
