You're a lucky, lucky man, Fingers! You're a true Keef purist, getting rid of your 6th string on one of your teles....I haven't tried that yet. I like Keef's approach to things..."keep it simple".
I don't know about the bigsby...I can't remember if Keef's 335s have Bigsbys, but if they do he never seems to use it.
I especially am drooling over your 52 ri tele....suh-weeeeeet!
