Dammit, here I go again...I don't know what's wrong with me....
I promised that I wouldn't lust after any more guitars...
I guess it would be a lot cheaper than a girlfriend....

Thanks for the pics Derrick. It was a terrific event for those who attended.

All the best.

Hey Jerome,would you happen to know what your T-8 weighs? My double (with case) goes for about 49 pounds.

That's a beauty. Would love to hear those new pickups.

Hi Jerome, the biggest modifications were related to string spacing. Top to bottom, the original Bigsby dimensions weren't going to work for me on a 24-5/8 inch scale. Todd had to effectively redesi ...

You guys aren't going to believe what washed up on the beach at Kahala.....A beautiful long-legged blonde!!??....

Hi Bill , The guitar itself weighs in at 28.5 lbs., and the standard case is 20.5 . Todd makes a travel case which is a bit heavier at 28 lbs. Gonna hit the gym... Laughing
