"So since I never use the bridge pickup anyway (I've always been a single-pickup man)". Well, then we're one more in the neck-pickup-only crowd! On behalf of all other one-pickupers, I wish you Very, Very, Very Welcome again! And, hrrrrm, if you ever think about... well... hrrrm... saying goodbye to Mrs Embassy, then keep me in mind. I wouldn't mind a whole harem of them!

Willkommen, lieber Frankie.

I was wondering how that three point ended up on the Embassy, thanks for explaining. I don't think it looks bad at except for the perhaps a little crowded looking stringholder you added (but which - esthetics aside - does increase string pressure on the saddles).

My Rev TB II (also from 1964 and with an unbroken headstock, but much more battle-scarred than yours) is the darkest-sounding TBird I own (and I have close to 20), it even muds and billows a little.

"it even muds and billows a little." My White '66 was like that never could figure it out.

I'm wondering now if that's why I sold mine for a black block '73 Jazz Bass. It's been so long, I can't remember. A few years after I sold it, I found it with Bob Gorny in Chicago. He had refinned it in silver. And, yeah, the headstock curse had taken it. It was obvious when I had it.
