Wilkinson and a dremmel. Works just the same only about 10% the price...

If you already have a dremmel or some means of notching, like a file....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Also- make a shim for the neck- Bigsby needs an angle to get a decent action going.

It will go to Rob for setup, so thats a given. He had to do it for my other tele.
