Anyone Know Where To Find A Les Trem In Black?

[thegarehanman]

Man, god forbid someone make this thing in black. So far I've found two different versions of it, but both companies make it in only silver or gold. Anyone know where to find one of these in black?

peace,

I have never seen one in black either - but there may be a black version of the "Bowen Hanlde" which is similar to the les paul trem from stew mac but it looks better....

i am not sure where you can find one of these either i know they exist though

just trying to help

SWEET MOTHER OF MAYONAISE! When you're right, you're right. Here's a link:

Bowen Handle

It's a bit bulky, a little fugly...but I just need to let it grow on me.

I've read a few reviews on this thing. The main concern seems to be that it's a bit bulky on the treble side. One man said it obstructed his reach of the neck volume pot just a bit.

My question is this:

Has anyone ever played a right handed guitar with a left handed tremelo? Is it uncomfortable, more comfortable, or about the same? I'm thinking if I just go w/ a lefty trem, I can avoid the whole bulkiness issue.

SRV's have lefty trems, don't they? Someone's gotta have played a right hander with a lefty trem.

glad you could find it, i knew it was out there somewhere and im glad you found it to lol i want one for my next project

id say that playing a lefty trem on a righty would be different but if srv could get used to it so can you.

id just go with the traditional right on right as you can see in the pic you can obviously get at the volume pot but you just couldnt do any swells well you could on some things but it may be a bit hard

hope this thing works out for you

*EDIT* SRVS guitar did have a lefty trem - i thinki it happened when he sent his guitar away for repairs and the guy put a lefty trem on it - dunno why considering ud have to route new holes.

*EDIT x 2* lol it looks alot better than the stewmac one lol, that one would be stiff as heel and i think itd fall apart, this one atleast looks like a good solid construction.

I've always wanted a lefty trem anyhow. I don't like how the arm hangs over the knobs and side of the guitar on normal trem equiped guitars. I like how the arm sits mostly over the bridge and doesn't obstruct anything else with a lefty trem on a right handed guitar.
