laowai Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I bought this new in Brooklyn 17 years ago. For 16 years plus it has been a case queen. It lives in Shanghai with me now. Recently, I've been playing it a lot. What a fantastic guitar, even through my modest setup, A mustang III set to a super clean twin reverb, a RAT, analog delay and MXR EQ. I can not make this guitar sound bad. I kick myself for overlooking it all these years. Holiday greetings from the Middle Kingdom.
bsck1 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Firstly, I'm a very uninformed enthusiast. This may be a very stupid question. The manner in which your strings are threaded through the tailpiece is a first for me. Have you found a positive impact on sound with this method, or is this yet another tailpiece I've not seen before?
laowai Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 It can use a level and crown after a decade of neglect, but even as it is, it blows my LPs out of the water. Best $1326.06 I ever spent.

The tailpiece has blocks into which the string balls hook. It's got fine tuners on it as well. Let me try to get a good pic of the tailpiece and bridge
bolero Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 that is a nice 535, congrats!! I believe Ren Wall designed that tailpiece?
