of course they are. those are the gibson ones. the Fender ones are not tune-o-matics, they're adjust-a-matics like paul said and they have a radius complimentary to the fender necks.
I know. I refer to it as a TOM because that's what it is except it's been made by Fender to fit their guitars. I don't really know all that much about Gibsons but I figured that not all of their guitars will have 12" radii.

I'm not saying he's a dummy. I'm saying that there is no evidence that a guitar like his was ever made and so I'm wondering how it came to be.

got a reply from soundslive about that guitar-
Hi Stewart,

Yes this is a special edition model guitar, more of a vintage reissue compared to the classic player one. For more info follow the link to the Fender website

Regards

Martin

I just looked through the window of a guitar shop at one about an hour ago. It looks exactly like mine bar the matching headstock and F-Tuners. It doesn't have a TOM. I have no idea why soundslive would have shooped a TOM onto that picture.

i think they've just shopped a B&B neck onto a CP body. you can see the join at the headstock. doesn't explain the dodgy trem arm though, but that could be general 'shop incompetence.
