I emailed the seller to see if he has any interest in a trade. He's just down the road 45 minutes from me. The top looks beautiful, but I can't bring myself to spend $ for locking nut and trem.

Bill, tgo

Yeah Bill, I have a real problem with those trems, hence it always held me back from picking up one of these guitars. It's why I don't use my Casio Pg-380 out on gigs.

Hey flax, are you referring to the guitar in the link being made for Susan, or the other one referred to in the comment?

Never a fan of whammys myself, but this one is very stable so far. Still plan to block it when I get the neck done, though. Blocking doesn't stop the ugly unfortunately.
