Omg, enjoy it. I had an original Silvertone-branded one with '66 part codes. It was magical. After 6 months, someone broke into my car and stole it.

I don't know why I never got one of these, but always wanted one, they played great in the store. Have fun!

Oh, those are cool. The vibrato does seem a bit sketchy though.

Uff, that is sad to hear.
But I could imagine, that these don't really do an old one justice.
Anyhow. I will.

Working on a solution for the vibrato. But I guess I must get one of those self fitting nuts first... either somewhere among my stuff - or the safer bet - at my dad's workshop. I must go there for the Jaguar Pickguard cutting anyhow - so might be somewhen this week. :-)
