Really nice, Howard. I hope it comes to you soon, and in pristine condition, which I'm sure it will. Not everyone had my one time misfortune. Enjoy!

Wow, looks like Rickenbacker-type bridge.

I plan too, Stan (if I can work out the tuning and learn to play it a bit).
Music bookshops here I come!!!
It looks like it, John. The ability to be able to remove the bridge cover would probably provide a bit more flexibility for the player.

Wow, Aitch--it's a beaut! And it's a nice, normal colo(u)r, too.
These are lots of fun. My uncle used to be quite a whiz on it (same last name...) and I'm sure you'll have a ball!

Thanks, Paul. The photos are of the actual guitar. I'm hoping there's weeks of sustain from the Seymour Duncan 'Phat Cat' pup!

The lap steel just arrived. I can't believe it!! Shipped Saturday 23rd in the US, arrives at my door by courier 10:10am Thursday our time. That's a four day delivery and it only cost me $65 US!!
Customs didn't even bother to open it and have a look! I guess they probably X-rayed it.
I'll post pics in the 'Others' topic when I get a chance.
Cheers

I just got my first scam Paypal email.
"Dear eBay member. We regret to inform you that your Paypal account will be suspended unless........"
It's easy to see how the uninformed could get sucked in. No more Paypal for me..... I've found that most sellers who "prefer Paypal" actually don't!! Direct deposit seems to be their preference - and that suits me!

Yes Howard, be really careful, some of the scams even have your full name on them (Paypal say that their genuine ones always have your name on them and not "Dear User", "Dear member", etc.). I just ignore any email that wants my info. regardless of whether I think that it is genuine or not. After all, you only need to get caught once!!!

Agreed, Peter. I never respond to emails (Paypal, banks, etc.) that have links in the message. I go to the site itself.
