just a photo of the Callaham tremolo
really pleased with it,
well made compared to the Fender ones I've got, even the intonation is set out roughly and the saddle heights the same, just a sign of attention to detail

My Dad would've liked chatting with you MrC. He was into watches and clock movements before my little Sis and I came along, I think he gave it all up in the mid 60's. I remember finding little boxes of bits in the shed when I was a kid.
I just love the thought of what these watches have been through, were they used in the Boar War, WW1 or were they put in a gentleman's desk draw and forgotton, what ever it's survived 180 odd years still works and keeps good time

That's probably why he gave up.
Yeah but no but, he didn't have a shed before I was born! We were living a in a 2nd floor Council Flat, it was only when Sis-the-Bass came along in '69 or so we moved to a house with a shed.
My dad did watch and clock repairing "on the side" as well, had tons of tools and stuff. According to me mum he got into it while in the army for WW2, 'cause of not being able to find anyone else to do repairs or cleaning so had to DIY.
"No matter how fast light travels it finds that the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
I have acquired a few tools and I play around doing simple things like changing hands and removing the movement, despite watching all the yotube vids about it I'm still freaked by stripping it right down, what I need is breaker to experiment on

not too sure how I can do it,
I've got miniature USB tape recorder I'll try to record onto it and produce a.wav file,
it was a bit of fun setting it up, I was trying to allow for the compound radius but I was over complicating it, it actually plays beautifully with 10s on it, these Warmoth necks are teriffic and well worth the money, there is a rumour that Fender's custom shop have used them
the Texas specials give a good SRV Hendrix sound, but I can also do Chicago blues on them
at the moment I using a little Peavey amp but what I would really like is a
Fender deluxe reverb or a AC15, Philip Ramsay is looking out for something along those lines, valves would make a big difference,
