Nice Chris!

Do yourself a favour; buy some reverse wind Gotoh Res-o-lites.
They help cure the neck dive and they are very smooth.

It certainly looks way too high.
Mine is about about half as high.

They don't do a great deal Carlo but all little bits added up do the trick

My Greco Tbird was real neck diver when I got it.
I placed a strapbutton on the heel,
and replaced the plastic control cavity cover for heavier metal one.
No more neck dive.

The BaCHbird Deluxe was a real neck diver before the upgrades.
But with a strapbutton on the heel
and Res-o-lite tuners
the neck dive was gone

The best removable solution that leaves no permanent marks would be Hipshot Ultralites or Gotoh Res-o-lites.

And they aren't as harmonically complex.

Explain please.

I talked about this with a luthier the other day.
In his opinion all the harmonics are there. In the same place.
But the string tension is just different, which makes some shorties (with too thin strings) sound floppy.

Look again Uwe!

See how close that (wavy) line of knobs is to the humungous Rick chrome pickup surrounding with a Jazz pickup inside?
And check out that bridge, what is the chrome surplus on the sides doing there?
Transparent thumbrest shoud have been black or chrome to match with the rest of the hardware.
That half erect lower horn...
And I don't like the angle of the flames in the top


A great late r&r poet put it this way:

"It's criminal
There ought to be a law"
