DESCRIPTION:
There is another video in open tuning, because I like to play slide guitar!

Video and audio recorded by smartphone!
Just to show a bit the sound possibilities of this guitar.
I guess it's from 1962!
The pickups was wax-potted to eliminate microphonics and unwanted feedback. Was done more than 10 years agoo and made a big difference!
I made a litte change in wiring to one PU for OOP (out of phase). I love this sound and it works very well. This modification is easy reversible!
The Bigsby isn't original (AFAIK) - I have also this "Lyre" tail piece. Easy to change. No screws in the top.
I want to sell it next time...
Guitar can be tested in Bad Arolsen / Germany.
