DavidE Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I bought this from Tom "Terrific" Armbruster in September. Sunburst, double bound body, b-bender, drop d flippy thing, Fender bridge, locking tuners added, EMG T pickups blah blah blah. Very cool axe, but I just don't have the time or patience to get the hang of the b-bender to play in public. Works really well though!$400 plus shipping.Here's the original thread with photos and Tom's description.http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/index.p...812&hl=esp+teleStonge? Cmathhes? Still interested?
tomteriffic Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Dave, it was $400 + shipping. If I could sell some of this other stuff I'd probably grab it back. It's a cool guitar just as a straight-up Tele, and if you have the time and patience to dink with the B-bender it gets even cooler.It's one of the ESP '400' series from the '80'sI've still got porn around here someplace.
hardheartedbill Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 email sent! Hey Tom, do you know if the holes were reamed for the grovers?
hardheartedbill Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 well crap, still a cool piece that I'm looking foward to! Tom, if you ever find that bridge shot me an email and I'll buy it off ya
tomteriffic Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Bill, it's in a box somewhere down in Buzzard Gulch (my basement music room-ro-be). I don't remember if I swapped it because of the individual saddles or because it wasn't amenable to the Hipshot. When I dig it up, I'll let you know.BTW, I used a tapered reamer on the tuner holes and only made them as big as necessary. A set of Klusons, with the bushings, may still fit, but that's been a looong time ago, so I can't swear to it.
hardheartedbill Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 ah hell , the Grovers make it like Ray Flakes old tele, twang approved! I would like to try the 3 saddle brass bridge just for comparison sake
MCChris Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 I used a tapered reamer ... Always the more considerate, comfortable way to go.
