Reviews I've read it stands up as well as any thing going. It's the same thickness according to the information as regular plating. Just a lot cheaper.

I was looking at Dubtrubs Tremolo, and decided to give one a try. Since I've heard tremolos are not real easy to use, and the strings don't stay tuned real well, I plan to use Sarah s permanently but have the tremolo just for the challenge.

Here is what I've made so far. I'm going from photos and what few known dimension i know.

I'm gong with the Pewter burst, silver hardware, and the red logo.
Once I'm done with all the hardware and get everything marked an drilled, I'll still need the pickguard. I think the plain white is what I'll have you make.
The one on it now is painted hardboard.

Amazing what you've done so far Dan, you really seem to take on a rather challenging project without much ado, (i.e. just going for it!). Looking forward to 'the finish' ;)

Oops, I had forgotten you mentioned the color a while ago. Are you thinking solid white or white/black/white like the originals?
