Oh, I haven't settled on the "R", just trying it out. I do kinda like it, but I may even put the original stop bridge back on before I decide. If I don't use the Bigsby I'll just touch up the holes. The mahoganyglo look is fine with me for now.

I like the bigsby on it.My next guitar is a 09 330 FG with bigsby Oh yes it will be mine...........oh yes........OK the sound changed instantly when i put on the trapeze for the worse and i realised that i needed a full set up.After a backbow,fret leveling and a few tweaks here and there it was sounding good.So now the toasters have arrived best way to describe my new 360 VP is like terror on a winter morning.

Cool. I notice one thing that the "R" brightens up the sound, which is a good thing for these pickups. With the Bigsby it sounded more dense. I'm going to try the stock TP too before I decide.

Hey, here's a little idea I'm trying out. "R" tailpiece for the 430. Let me know how you like it.
Kira that looks cool! I too would do this to a 430... If I owned one that is!

I have to admit I actually like the "R" on this guitar when I haven't liked it on the 320 it came with. It has a kind of cowboy belt buckle charm when you put it on this honky tonk princess.

Yeah, well I think we need some clips to sample the icy terror of this blue beast for our own ears.

Scotty, the guitar looks great with the toasters and trapeze!
Kira, try a trapeze on the 430.

VERY VERY NICE BBR Scott!
You must let me know how the toasters are sounding compared to the hi gains on your 360 too.

Aye, there's something about a good blueburst with the gold trimmings.
Made for each other.

After having them on my 330FG for 3 years or so, I just swapped my toasters for the new hi-gains. I'll let you know how I like them in a few weeks.
