Ricky Medlocke from Lynyrd Skynyrd sometimes uses a Korina Explorer with a Bigsby style trem on it and I always liked the look of it

Back in the Blackfoot days he had a couple of Ibanez Explorers (or Destroyers? not sure if they were using that name then) with Maestros.  Looks like he's upgraded to a Gibson (or maybe got the Ibanez headstock refinished!)

I bought one of these Schaller roller bridges.  It doesn't look vintage but it's very nicely made (.....haven't fitted it yet of course).

No thanks, I'd have to sell the Vibramate and the B5 then as well. 

I seem to spend my life losing money on guitar stuff, but it's not intentional.   :P

+1. Sorry Lew, it looks GREAT apart from those knobs... are they pink? Is that my old neck pick up in there?
