Beauty!!

that is nice, Bird!! I always liked the Vox's, with the chrome edges & the classy VOX logo you even have the original bag!

WOW!!! that is a fantastic looking gtr....congrats!

DB I was in a similar situation, I finally coughed up & got a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe it's quiet, reliable, runs off pedalboard power, and has switching options for wah response plus it has a light, so you can see when it's on!! handy

that is a beauty! congratulations! does the 530 have a center block south of the bridge? if not, I would stick with a floater B3/B6 etc tension bar definitely helps keep the strings down on the bridge though, if it's a shallow angle

+1 thanks for all the work you spend on this place!! I'll buy you a pint of Lowenbrau, sometime

OK I had time to use google & search the HOC....some results:

I asked Chris Merren about this ( he makes top quality transformers for Neve consoles, Marshall amps, McIntosh audio gear, and is a huge vintage Marshall enthusiast ) surface rust isn't a big deal, since everything happens inside the windings & near the core. But you can use a treatment called "Mar Hide one step" that the navy used on their battleships vs rust: it actually reacts with rust to form a plastic & also seals I used this on a '65 JTM100 power transformer about 15 years ago, it is still going strong & there has been no rust, ever since

nice: they really needed more general exposure in places like that, where the madding crowd hangs out

there is a thread on here somewhere, discussing compatible ABR-1 bridges ( which are narrower than nashville ) & hardware that will fit the modern posts I think kidsmoke put it together? lots of discussion & info can't seem to find it with search function

my favourite H150 has a busted/repaired headstock I also like the fact that I don't have to worry about it I call it "the bastard" :D

agree 100%!!!

WOW!!!!!! stunning guitar!

that is interesting, never thought of it, thx!
