Tried as I may to stay one step ahead of this nefarious affliction, it ran me down again............................:thwap:

I've been longing for a P90 equipped guitar for quite a while, and I found the guitar I want - Gibson SG Special in ebony satin:

I need to unload a couple of guitars first, and do a little groveling with the Finance Minister..................

Sweet! Hope the Wizard of Finance says YES!

Laying out my Guitarot cards I get:

A Queen of Clams
A Peddler of Instruments
A pair of 90s of Puppies
& a Spanker of Planks

Yup, it seems the Fates are on your side!

Hey, if you want to unload a couple, then I'll give you my address. On the other hand, if you're wanting to SELL a couple, then I'm not much good to you... :thwap:

Yes, it is a tremelo bar. The call it a vibrolo. The strings are attached to it.
The piece is anchored to the body and is curved metal. That acts as a spring when the handle is moved changing the tension on the strings. The Custom has a fancy metal piece that attached to the vibrolo and went to the bottom of the body. You can see it on an Angus Young.
