I should add that it was through this forum that I learned about Todd's work in the first place. So thank you, Steel Guitar Forum, for making me a happy man.

Great save Tom, Todd is the man for that job. He has the passion for those guitars that adds something to his work.

Beyond cool. Tom, you have great taste, tenacity and vision....and luckily Todd is around to being your dream to fruition. I bet it sounds better than it looks-and that is saying something.

I often wished and wondered about the Bigsby’s third neck, especially when I came across photos like the one below of a Bigsby neck-ectomy. Could that be the missing piece of my guitar?

Excellent possibility, because the non-pedal bridge means that that would have most likely been the 3rd neck of a triple.

Congratulations. Todd has been the worthy recipient of my praises.

Thats a beauty Tom! Todd is one hell of a craftsman and I have no doubt that its as good if not better then when it first left Pauls shop.
