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?

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

I recognize that photo.

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

Yes, that you post your need for yet another 850 Combo part -- and we'll see what happens next!

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.

BYW, the photo of all those itzy bitzy Ricks were from MARF II.

I finally took some pictures of my 850 Combo but can't figures out how to post them. Please help.

David: Please read my message. I am here to help.

Finally, some pictures of my Combo 850
