Mm hm 😎. They did a nice job with this model - Leeds, Sabbath etc. all day long. I put 8s on mine recently, enjoying it even more.

Pretty fab! not enough matching headstock action in Strat land 😁. Never seen such a figured neck on a Squier (I'm sure the odd one has...

^^ Similar reasons, though I wasn't aware of Lemme's work at the time 😄. My first decent guitar was an Ibanez RG and the neck pu in...

Of course, Norlin stuff has become stupid because people are priced out of 50s-60s stuff. We discussed this re. T-Tops in another thread...

Hehe, yeah, it happens. When I was redoing my Ibanez Proline almost 15y ago, I bought a sheet of tinted mother of toilet seat from...

I expect people are also more into old T-Tops these days because they're priced out of PAFs and Pat. Nos. 😁. As said above, we live in...
