My Epi Sheraton bender is complete!

I've finally got my Epiphone Sheraton completed. The crowning touch was a gold finished Bigsby Palm Pedal. I'd never heard of a gold BBP until one of the forum members came up with one and we traded.

The guitar has special wiring with a coil tap and phase switch and a HipShot D-tuner at the peghead.

I had to ground the bender so I drilled a small hole under it and ran a wire down to the ground of the input jack.

Where the old stud tailpiece holes were, I cut two circles out of Fender guitar picks and just glued 'em over the holes.

All in all, this guitar is receiving a lot of bandstand time now and I'm lovin' the thing. At the moment it's sharing almost equal time with my Tele at gigs......JH in Va.
