Very beautiful 850 you got there!
Love the Bigsby on it too!
It seems like the 2 bottom screws on the Bigsby must have spacers under them... am I correct?

Never, ever drool on your surf shirt. It wrecks the solo.

I believe the 850s used to belong to a forumite.

I wish the guitars were mine, instead, even one of them! :lol:

I don't know if this is true, but I heard that the blue 850 with the Bigsby was John Hall's personal guitar at one time.

David: Please read my message. I am here to help.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

That's a wonderful guitar, David. Quite a beauty of a '57 you have there.!!!

I know another David that would be proud of that one too.
