Hi all,
Second post here....
I was hoping for some advice regarding a guildsby I have just fitted to my 62 Starfire 2. The job went smoothly enough butwhat I've noticed since fitting it is that the guildsby arm stops quite short of the strings meaning that I can't pick strings whilst holding the trem arm. Not an issue when wobbling at the end of chords but it's just not what I'm used to with bigsbys. Are all guildsby's like this? Are there aftermarket arms that allow more movement towards the strings?
Also, I think I'm going to take it back off and age the chrome using the distilled vinegar trick I've seen on YouTube. Any ideas on removing the black paint from the tail piece?
Any info on these two topics will be be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
