The bridge is good condition apparently and is a player. What I didn't like too much is the bridge pickup, the other too were better sounding. I would like to use it to play progressive rock in the style of Marillion. John from Wammi World just sent me a tremolo arm and other small pieces missing from the bridge. I cannot wait to play it when it comes back. Maybe a better bridge pickup will be in order, this is a great guitar and I think I just may sell my MIM strat later.Luisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845805372450262112.post-14041342433418731602015-10-16T09:14:51.277-07:002015-10-16T09:14:51.277-07:00Hi,

He makes a million videos! He even made a video where he showed how to weigh humbuckers! Yeah you really need to know how much the pickups you are putting in your guitar weighs. When he makes the videos where he is attempting to play one of his guitars, he has a big screen tv in the background taping him. I think he plays make believe and likes to pretend he is at some stadium playing.<br /><br />Really not much knowledge on guitars besides the System one tremolo versions that he thinks are the best guitars in the world. Many guitars he sell are just partcasters, but he will want prices for the partcasters like they were all original. Sorry for rambling, but he is a flake and iritates the hell out of me.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451872914079146590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845805372450262112.post-74006301497660333932014-01-31T05:27:52.271-08:002014-01-31T05:27:52.271-08:00papatom....the dude....I have to say I have just r...papatom....the dude....I have to say I have just read what I first put up about your site....or not read....the bit I did on your site is missing....I am a member of your site....get your newsletter....and have spoken to you 3 or 4 time's by email and found you very helpful....my piece now doesn't make sense....one lol comment by your link that would read badly....but then sing your praises in another comment....As you can see I am a professional blogger and before you ask....of course I don't back any of this up....I will rectify this ASAP....K.J.Keith Johnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582720169946168496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845805372450262112.post-57621399608572051592014-01-30T20:21:54.722-08:002014-01-30T20:21:54.722-08:00Thank you Kieth, I don't care what they say ab...Thank you Kieth, I don't care what they say about ya you're alright with me.. stop by for a discount.

However if you want genuine, original fender japan parts hes the only source, as all of his parts come from salvaged system 1 tremolos. There are other parts available, much cheaper (and I have used them) but they are reproduction parts, not always the same materials, and definitely not produced or distributed by fender japan. That said, you can rebuild a system 1 with reproduction parts and have it work as good as new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845805372450262112.post-41073018981331376102013-11-18T04:06:10.972-08:002013-11-18T04:06:10.972-08:00ptom is a great site if you want to know the Syste...ptom is a great site if you want to know the System One history....but if you want tech info to repair yourself....he keeps that stuff to himself....I mean it's not really secret....so you search some more on the web and end up finding others selling what he sells....but cheaper....k.j.Keith Johnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582720169946168496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845805372450262112.post-29083434357724430552013-11-16T21:33:02.870-08:002013-11-16T21:33:02.870-08:00I too agree that ptom's prices are too damn hi...I too agree that ptom's prices are too damn high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
