That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! :D I would think you would have put an Accent on it, Kira?

Paul, did you tap and screw down those Grover Slimlines on Kira's 320, or were they stable?

Thanks, everyone! I'm still in shock and disbelief. It's even lovelier in person than the pictures describe. My little plain Jane 320 is now an official eye-popper. BIg thanks to the 'Mudge for quality way above the norm, Even if it is mine, I must say this is one of the best he's ever done. Well worth the wait. :)

Jake, I considered an Accent and a trapeze, as well as changing the nameplate for a silkscreened one, but in the end it pleases me to have her with all her original parts attached. I'll just have to get another one with an Accent. :lol:

Ivan, dot necks are very cool! 8)

And Thomas, the waffleback Grovers have been very stable from day one and are still holding and holding together just fine. :)

Cool, Kira! I asked because I recently had one explode on my '83 330. Still love those tuners, though! :)

Yo Kira,

Yes, I bet that it is even better in person. That sparkle in the red must really look great in the right light. Beautiful.

Worry not, Kira, for there is a cure for the expanding universe, er, exploding tuners. Imagine a super nova, if you will..................

Kira, don't worry. :)

Just be sure to keep a pair of these handy when you are tuning up after a string change:
