4 to 5 years is how long I've been playing guitar, but I know how hard it is to find any thing left handed.

vibrato?! isn't it called tremolo? or they are two different things, vibrato bar and tremolo bar?
Both words are used to describe it. Technically its a vibrato arm, vibrato changes pitch - tremolo changes volume. But some time "Leo Fender patented a unit for the Stratocaster called the synchronized tremolo and we've called it that ever since"

thanks, never got why it was called tremolo, since it doesn't do what tremolo is suppose to..

A few sites say they'll sell for $350. I'm going down to my dealer in the next few days to do a down payment.

I very briefly played one of these at namm. they looked amazing. the one thing I can say is the tremolo sucked balls. it was really stiff and had no travel at all. shame really. but they do look really cool and well made/ didnt get to hear em as it was after hours when I tried em.

This is hurb on divas account by the way.

i like this kind of vibrato, sometimes. i prefer vibratoes that arent able to dive bomb, because dive bombing is for wanks and the best thing you can do with a vibrato is the patented kevin shields "shimmer" anyway.

Yeah I was disappointed. I may still get one as they looked hot. and work something out with a new tremolo. I took a pic on my phone I will try and upload it.

Reminds of one of those horse shoe crabs.

Was it weaker than say a bigsby? I would probably still enjoy it as even if it just is the equivalent of pushing in the neck/body to get that slight surfy sound, I would feel like I could get the same thing without putting a lot of stress on the neck pocket.

I'm sure that's just a setup issue. With some heavier strings and tweaking the tension a bit, I'm sure you can get it to float.
