Mercurys always remind of the 80's or the 50's, its just a retro ass looking guitar. I like it.

That Orange does not look right in the digi photo. I
REALLY like it. It's a nice racing orange (or something). It really looks great with the parchment. It would not look right with bright white.
The bridge issue has me puzzled. I have to figure this out. I spent several hours searching the other day......

String highth. That bridge is just too big and the stings are too high off the body. The neck is tilted too much and the pickups have to go too high. It looks wierd. The compensated bridges look good, real stout and are the right highth. The issue is they are not avalible in lefty's. (Darn)
