Barry, does she want an Accent or a Bigsby?

An Accent is easy, it just attaches via the rear strap bolt...thats it!

A Bigsby requires screwing to the body...not reversable. I did it to a 330, but preferred the Accents.

3 of my gtrs have Accent vibrato's.
'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

Peter's comment made me laugh like I hadn't for days.

Thanks for that one, Peter!!!

Peter,

you scored 10 out of 10 on that one.

Too funny!

I dunno.... Paul, I think your comment in another thread about spanking a Strat was the funniest thing I've read on this forum since the one about playing guitar in the bathtub!

(BTW, I wanna see a picture of that, LOL!) Image

Spanking a Strat?! Too sadistic... imho. Personally, i wouldn't do that to any guitar...
