Removing my Hipshot

I've decided to remove and sell/swap my Hipshot with palm lever.
Its a cool thing and can make very nice sounds, but I never got to a Will Ray level of speed or proficiency :-)

But I've found I hardly use it in what I play.
And as I've got a pedal steel, which I'm enjoying very much BTW, I go there for the country bending licks and all that fun.

It doesn't realy get in the way on the Tele, but I think the space can be better use for a Bigsby some time.

Will Ray is super-human! Wish I had as much talent as he does in his pinky finger!
