If it wasn't for that headstock I'd be loving this!

Definitely. I'd actually considered converting my MM bass to a 4 string baritone before I sold it. That format/shape/size would likely be really fun as a baritone

I'm curious how this tremolo arrangement came to be.

A few years ago I used to browse AliExpress for fun looking at guitars, especially messed up ones... I remember seeing a vague Jazzmaster or Jaguar copy with a vibrato installed backwards just like this.

Well there is a decent chance of that. Was trying to figure out the original color. Looks like it's been painted a few times. more pics on ebay.

Since they were cutting, they should have done a swinger style headstock on this sucker.

It brought a smile to my face to see that the bigsby is installed on a flat-top classical in the example image:

Best part is that it's not even installed, looks photoshopped on.

Which means instead of just finding an existing image of a guitar with one installed of which there are millions some poor person in the graphics department had to waste time making the image :fp:

I kind of like the shape and the flower paintjob, that headstock sucks though.
