My '89 originally had Grovers on it, they must be a slightly different size than what was on your '03 Bill, I didn't have to do that.
Regardless, they're way cooler than the little ones

When I first tried them I used a black set.............. A mistake on the color to be sure, I saw the CHROMEY light soon after.

Yeah, it's interesting how the specs gradually change over time. I could enlarge the tuner holes just slightly and move the tuners away from one another, but this was easy and the bass is fine. I play it all the time and it sounds great. Gotta love that chrome!

I hate it when Scott "rubs" his wretched experiments "in" like that! It's like a family album of third generation incest being passed around proudly ("little Kenny's sister was also his mother, and they have children together too ...") at a birthday party and you don't know what to really say ...

LMFAO Posted almost exclusivley for you Uwe

I wondered how long it would take to get a rise out of you. all this from the man who paints a EB3 blue and orange. One would think you would be more accepting of diversity.

My T-Bird's appointment for that cutaway mod and a new bridge (warwick) is now only a month or so away. Thank you for that inspirational content, Scott.

In my case it's called "The Undiscovered Country"

Is there really anything "undiscovered" with you?

In my case it's a disciplinary factor. And as a kraut, I'm a glutton for discipline.

I know how to use a cat o' nine tails..................... so like that kind of discipline?
