What he said!
I don't remember ever seeing one in white, either. I'm wondering if the pickup and switch recesses might be a clue, I seem to remember seeing others that weren't finished inside? But other owners might know better. Hope Hans sees this, or you can send him a "private message" from the board here. :wink:

Thanks I was able to buy one tonight.

AWESOME! Let us know how it works out. Might be a good resource if the quality and fit is right.

Difinitely will do. BTW the sellers name is "ez-pz parts" was that the seller you were referring to?

Yep, seller is up again with another arm. That's the same ad I was thinking of. Did you get the black tip or ask for a white one?

 

[Trainbridge]

I got the black tip.

Got the replacement trem bar!

It seems way longer than the stock ones that come on s-200...but I like it. Its more jazzmaster territory as far as length goes. I thought my trem arm was original just the plastic piece had broken of the end but now I'm almost sure it was not...nevertheless I am happy with the new arm.

pics!

old arm v. new arm..

Cool guitar! Never saw a white one before. I always wanted a Sunburst one like Zal Yanovsky .

Jeff MacDonald of Redd Kross has a red one

I will say refin , the area between the control route for the 3 slider switches and the pickups / control area has been chiseled away before the white was applied, cool guitar btw... .

Greg's right, that area looks strange.
Also the area where the serial number is looks like too much paint on top of the serial number. Wasn't the serial number applied after painting? And I almost looks like it is not done with Nitrocellulose lacquer. Way too thick paint everywhere for beeing Nitro from the 60ties. But it's hard to tell from those pictures.
It's a very cool guitar either way.
