But I'm glad this one's for us all. I love Toasters in Cavern position:

It has a redesigned headstock too. Both are affordable HCTs.

And the long type tailpiece. A much needed improvement.

Long tailpiece is better. I want one for my sunburst Verythin reissue.

GG: The one with the Fender-ish single coils is the current one and the one with the toasters (also single coils) is the new one. I like the older burst better too.
