Hi All,
Kind of new here.
A bit of a background story. I was searching ebay for some pickups. The search yielded a couple of SD1's so I went to the listing. What I found was a listing from one of those sellers that pieces out guitars. This is not a rant about them, that has already been covered here. What I found was nearly all of the part to a '98 Starfire III. After four or five hours of walking around with this WTF feeling I bought everything without really thinking about it! Between that and a couple of parts I had laying around. I have most of the parts to put it back together. Unfortunately, I was unable to secure the Guildsby tailpiece, and the volume/tone knobs.
So, if anyone has a line on some NOS parts that would complete this rescue I would like to hear about them. Short of that I can only see a couple of reasonable options:
1. Buy the current components that are used on the Newark St model, or
2. Use the Newark St volume/tone knobs (continue to look for the NOS 1-10 tabled knobs), and buy a bigsby. I believe the B6 is what was used on this guitar in the late 50's early 60's. But, I really don't want to drill any holes.
BTW, will the current Newark St Guildsby just drop on without drilling holes?
Suggestions, comments, any help is welcomed.
Thanks for reading.
