Here are the pics of the GSR Savoy X150D I bought a few weeks ago. This is the first time I've tried posting photos so I hope it works.

When I first brought it home the electronics didn't like the room in which I usually play, causing a loud hum, though my other electric guitars have had no problem. I took it back to the shop where it behaved perfectly, but they had it checked over and I picked up the guitar again yesterday. It still doesn't like this room (which has a dimmer switch) but behaves elsewhere in the house. But here's a strange thing and maybe someone here can explain; when I turn up the volume control of the neck pick up to 10, the hum goes away.

Fors Hans' information, it has the serial number NQ324002

Otherwise I am very happy with it.

Regarding the hum: You might have to check if the Guildsby has a ground connection to the pickups, I think we had a few cases where this wire was forgotten during production! So when you change strings unscrew the bigsby from the body and see if there is a groundwire attached. If not add one and connect it to ground on the bridge pickup. Also it can't hurt to have a ground wire to the socket for the plug.
