with a swede saw and then re- build the whole guitar for the headless look. I will then use my circular saw to make the body rectangular and it will then be a much improved instrument. I've decided to not sand the cuts as the rasp file will work much faster. It will then be more functional on my canoe trips. I've designed a particle board attachment (of which I am waiting for the patent on) to help accomodate the Floyd Rose.
Seriously though, I did last nights gig with the 52ri and my ES335. They both had about 50% of the gig. There are certain songs that the ES335 doesn't like to do.....For example Rodney Crowell's She's Crazy for Leavin' just isn't a 335 tune (at least in my hands). Whereas I believe the Tele can do all tunes. By the way, Mike installed an SD JB HB in the bridge on my 335. It has been much improved (in my aging hearing opinion). I've been playing the 335 quite a bit since he upgraded it for me. But the 52 RI would be the one I'd keep if I was only allowed 1 guitar by forces unknown and unseen.
2nd by the way: Ian I can't believe you haven't snagged that super reverb at the toy store yet.
Thanks for the colour opinions everyone.
