Many apologies metalcarver, I have inadvertantly hi-jacked your thread with all this talk of aluminium, or aluminum, depending on where you are from.
I say again, great guitar. No, wonderful guitar. Very very cool.
Great guitar, poor spelling.
"Aluminium" is the correct way to spell that word. There is no such thing as "aluminum". Damn Americans, corrupting a perfectly good language...
People aren't put off by long posts. Not the ones who stick around anyway. Oh, and for your electronics woes, you may want to give the Electronics section a whirl, you may have more luck with that particular concern.
Bottom left of your post, theres little buttons you can click. One has two little heads and the letters "PM" on it. There is that on everyones posts. Click on the one belonging to the person you want to PM.
Kevan - I didn't mean an official 8 string Floyd Speedloader, I just had a thought since unclej brought it up, that yes, an 8 string floyd would be alot of work, and maybe making an 8 string speedloader would be a better plan.
I don't think I've posted in this thread, so here goes.
1st guitar - Peavey Raptor. Cheap Strat clone. I sanded the neck a bit, and I swear, the thing plays like butter. I'm looking forward to having the money to strip the everything off the body and neck and putting good electronics, pickups and hardware on it.
I don't see any reason why it couldn't. I suspect that there just isn't enough profit in the market to justify Floyd Rose making one like that of their own.
Pignose already make a travel sized guitar with an amp in. Go to www.pignose.com and check out their products, and then go to Electric guitar, and click Original.
Hey Drak, if you tire of Teles, can I get that one with the Steer head in it?
EDIT: Speaking of that Tele with the steer head, hows that one coming along, or is it "in the oven"?
Yes. Gibson fitted some in the factory in the late 50's. Justin Hawkin's Signature LP has a Bigsby. I'll try and find a picture of an LP with a Bigsby, and of the required Bigsby.
EDIT: I think this is the required Bigsby. This one or the B5 or the B50.

EDIT 2: This be the Justin Hawkins Signature LP, as weilded by the man himself. Seems I was wrong about the Bigsby you need. Wait for someone who knows better to answer. Anyway, the link.....

This my first announcement, and it's unfortunate it should be a sad one. RIP John Peel. We will all miss you.
