So many cool details on that guitar. GLWTS

I’ve never had an issue with the Wilky trem on my Daytona but have wondered what I’d do if I needed to replace the bridge pieces. I noticed this hardtail bridge on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/36789289-wilkinson-hardtail-stratocaster-vintage-through-body-bridge The seller is in the UK so It would be a bit more than $30 to the US. I’m thinking about grabbing one as a backup. Comments?

I honestly don't know the official name of the model and have to go by the description by the seller, OLP-DC. Sometimes these small Japanese shops will make a one off model based on a customer's request, and this may be something like that as I haven't seen another one like it. I have seen a few older Provision Les Paul replicas, but nothing recent or like anything on their website.

Great guitar. Somebody is going to get a good deal on this one.

Fantastic looking guitar. That would be an alternative for me, if I ever was to buy a new guitar again. Now that Hamer is no longer around. What is the name of that model? I could not find it on their web site.

Please tell me you are doing a Trower tribute! Ill play bass & sing

nice playing!

When a guitar in an ice cold van gets opened in a warm bar... it's checking!

I bought this from another HFCer a few years back; came to me with a pair of Mojotone ’56 Quiet Coil P-90s. Near mint condition; some light dings in the finish on the back of the neck, but nothing I've ever noticed while playing. Grover tuners with Ebony buttons. I bought a pair of TV Jones Classics in the P90 form-factor to experiment with; currently, the guitar has the TV in the bridge and the Mojotone in the neck, but I can include the extra two pickups and/or swap in the combination of your choice. The guitar rocks. The only reason I'm selling now is I've acquired a pair of the exact same guitar in its 3-pickup version (re-wired so I can still get the neck+bridge combo on a 6-way toggle). Hence, this guitar is now redundant for me. I'm thinking $2k seems fair in today's market. An extra pair of either pickup goes for ~$300 new, and the TV neck pickup hasn't even been taken out of the box. I'll deliver it to you personally within a reasonable distance of New Haven, CT (i.e., between here and NYC), or ship it for $100. Here's a demo with the current setup: And here it is in action last year, with both Mojotone ’56 Quiet Coils: And here's a demo with the current setup:

Like an elegant tuxedo…. that rocks.

Already spoken for and sent on its way.

Something about a Black body, cream binding & gold hardware that just typifies elegance. GLWTS

Thanks, Jim. Appx. $4.16/set. Oy, such a deal!

Kizanski and mincing words is/are mutually exclusive. I think I got that right.

Sometime in my early 20s I reached that point in life where I value my time too much to spend it wading through other peoples trash hoping to find a hidden gem. That said, I also started shopping thrift stores for clothes around that time and at 60years old I still do. Love the thrift model but I ain't about to use it when shopping for guitars.

I'm no authority, and I was a tyke back in the days of these amps, but I sort of generally sort preamp distortion as "fizzy" and power amp distortion as "creamy". Maybe the idea was to deliver a less- (or un-) distorted preamp signal to the overdriven power section?

So I need to ask more? I can raise the price!?!

I never really have understood the preamp topology of the MACE, or why when tubes were still plentiful, Marshall, Peavey, MusicMan, and others decided to go into solid state preamps with tube power sections. Is the "combine" feature of the MACE supposed to be like jumpering a four input Marshall?
