They send me mail every so often since I bought the 3100 with new stuff that they have..(not good). This one caught my eye.

# Bigsby tremolo
# This guitar features a beautiful Flame Maple top with Flame Maple back
# The AS-1000 is equipped with two Type-V Alnico humbucker pickups for great sound

Can't justify the buy though...at least not yet....! :nope

Ok, now I am lusting for a rootbeer 3100 routed for a P90 in the neck, bucker in the bridge, with a bigsby on it. Kinda an Ol' Black thing but not.

[msteeln]

Make mine a tobacco burst dbl. cut semi-hollowbody LP w/top mounted Bigsby and ebony f-board, please!

Rondo just keeps getting better.

Thanx for the heads up, Monkus, I see something else I'd like to snag...

I think Rondo just got a new shipment with more on the way, so keep an eye out.

:nope :nope :nope

What kind is on Ol' Black? A quick Wikipedia says a B7, which I guess is for a thin archtop solidbody. Is that better? EDIT: I just looked. Seems the B5 can be for flat top solid bodies, but this one is designed for a Gibson solid body. http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/-B5-Flat-Top-SolidBody-Bridge-Gibson-Style?sku=300203 I wonder if it is the same as above.

B5s for flat topped guitars like SGs and teles. You can put one on a Les Paul but then they don't look like this

Moral: use a B7 (or 70 or 700)

Apologies for quoting myself :thwap

[sunvalleylaw]

Ok, got it. Makes sense now. I forgot about that Gibson SGs were flat as opposed to Pauls. Seems if I was going to do it then, might as well get the B7.

I know what you mean.
What is it with that place? As soon as you "don't need any more guitars" they release a load more...

Gassin' for these now:

Probably a good job they don't seem to like shipping to the UK.
