Anyone tried one of those Goldo trems? the LT1 & 2 are licensed from Duesenberg and very affordable... https://www.goeldo.de/en/produktuebersi ... -topmount/

Bought one, didn't fit my guitar, swapped it with Bg's Bigsby. I think he actually installed the Goldo on one of his guitars.

Where did you order it from?

Can't remember, sorry. I suspect it may have been ebay.

I have not looked much into it, but it looks the bidness. https://www.trademe.co.nz/4491092138

Kinda cool but over priced
Also bound neck and dots is not how o like a JM
Either bound and block or clay dots with no binding

Thst series is interesting only in that fender gave a commemorative plate added to the first 46 models of each avri run that. Otherwise it’s an avri JM spec wise.

I have no such qualms with the bound dotted neck, looks great to me. The crazy price for a fancy neck plate though... that's a different story.

Yeh you see to me that just looks wrong. Something about the Perl inlay … just too used to looking at muted clay etc

His mustang doesn’t tickle your fancy ? Gateway vintage offset ?

Mustangs, anyone's, don't generally tickle my pickle. Also, (one of?) the main interest in offsets is to try out the JM wiggle stick. However, prices of offsets are pretty eye watering these days, relatively speaking.

Agree re: wiggle
Yeh I just reviewed reverb. Sickening ! MIJ jms asking 2.5k ?? When did that happen….

- used vintera (or new) … wait for a local one or try gumtree in Aussie

- build something

- hold out for a 60s lacquer mexi at a good price on reverb (but you’re unlikely realistically to land something for under $2k )

I'm certainly leaning heavily down that road. Maybe later next year.

Bound and dots is best! My Jazzmaster says so.

I like bound and blocks on some colours – LPB Jag with blocks is perfect. I’ve gone off big inlays on most guitars though – dots almost always look better, I think.

So value wise the fender limited edition player and fsr jazzmaster looks ok
Retail here (if in stock still?) around the $2k mark
Aussie ? $1600
