I went for a Toronado bridge. My guitar guy reckons he can do the work to fix the neck pocket issue, so it should all be good. Going to go with shell pink. It's an oddball guitar, so I think it will suit it.

Oh man. Struggling with the colour. Finding it hard not to order Burgandy Mist. Require a slap.

Pink will be Great! Glad to see this happening. I will donate a 70's Black headstock logo if you need one.

So last update I received is that the neck now fits. Body and headstock are being prepped for painting. Probably be the end of June before I get the completed guitar back. Can't wait.

It's probably worth remembering the Toro bridge plate is thinner that the MM/Duo. It's caused me issues in the past.

Got another quick pick fired through. It's currently getting a fret dress and a set up and should, all going well, be with me Wednesday!
