WTB SH-5 Custom or Custom 8 (Zebra or Reverse Zebra)

[Smoked Porter]

Looking for a regular SH-5 or one with an A8 swapped in, standard spacing. More interested in the A8, as I haven't tried it yet and read a lot of good things here, but I'll buy either.
Not interested in any other variants. Must be zebra or reverse.

Aiming to spend $45-$60 shipped.

Would need your references also.

Thanks!

Have a Extra Zebra Custom 8 trembucker on hand. Say 50 shipped but the tabs were drilled for direct mount long leads and looks new. Had this one in my Washburn MG 120 and went back to a JB in that particular guitar.

Cool. I was looking for standard spacing as it's going into an LTD EC-1000, but I will think about it. Gonna do some reading later today on trembuckers in fixed-bridge guitars and decide if the spacing really matters much, I know a lot of people say it doesn't.

Sorry for the noob question, but when you say the tabs were drilled for direct mount, would I potentially have any problems putting it into a guitar with pickup rings?

Not a problem on the question bro. You will have to attach a small nut or some thing to the bottom of the tab to use with with a Ring. All of my old Washburn USA's run factory drilled tabs and direct mount. Had this one in my 1995 MG120 for a while then went back to the stock JB. Have a couple of the Customs floating around and this one is out so--.

Will need to check what mag is in this one as have had both a 8 and the 5 in it it started with. I'm 90% it has the 8 in in now but want to verify before we do this bro. I should have a spare 8 even if it is a 5 now so give me over this weekend to be sure. Had 2 of um both in the old Washburn MG's and swapped both for JB's so want to make sure this is the one that had the 8.

Sorry, just saw this. No worries man.

Turned out this one did not have an A8 but an aftermarket rough cast A-5 and I don't have a A-8 on hand to swap in. Sorry bro my mistake (glad I verified before we closed this!) Sold the Custom 8 evidently with another guitar.

It's alright, honest mistake. Thanks for the carefulness and good communication.

Anyone else out there have an offer? Either spacing is fine.
