I just pulled out the Detonator got from acornhouse and found that both mounting screws had been shoved forward. I had to pull the screws out and superglue the cracked area down. If you ship these, make sure the guitar can't slide in the case where the headstock can hit the top.

Wait, what? What mounting screws?

Are you talking about the neck bolts/screws that mount the neck to the guitar body?

Cool.

If I weren't bald and slightly overweight, I could really do the spandex tights, tank top muscle-boy T-shirt, silk sports jacket with rolled up sleeves, and glam-boy big hair with that guitar. But then, I wouldn't look any sillier than some of the old arena rock bands still doing it. ;)

Which vibrato is that? It looks similar to the one on the Liberator, but has fine tuners.

Yes it is a Kahler. The fine tuners are in a horrible location as any time you attempt to palm mute you hit the tuners and knock it out of tune! My buddy had a Flyer and after tuning up he would stick a length of painters tape over the tuners to keep them in place.
