I put a Schaller Floyd Rose on my Frankenstrat.

Hated it.

Our local music store has the EXACT arch-top Harmony guitar that Santa brought me when I was 11. It has much better action than my original, but other than that, it is the same guitar. I want it...for sentimental reasons...not to actually PLAY! LOL. :-)

Jay Tursers are funny...some, like yours, never stay in tune. Others, like the one my nephew restored ($30.00 in a junk store) is an awesome little instrument. Go Figure.

Others ARE awesome little instruments. YIKES.

In Before the Grammar nazis.

What didn’t you like about the Schaller?

Thanks, TWB!

If memory serves me, the 1st Zep album was a Tele through Orange amps.

I don't play guitar (only have skills to drum😏), but I do have a first year SRV Strat; sentimental reasons

Well, if you’re not in your 70s, just hang onto it, store it right, and let it appreciate.

“Huh? Isn’t Jimmy more of a Stratocaster guy?”

I believe I recall reading that his solo on Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual” was done on a Tele (it sounds like a Tele to me).
