I like the idea of the PU mounting plates. It'll be interesting to see how it works out. Let me know when you get them on your site.
BTW if you to send one down I'll try it out and give you feedback :mrgreen:

I forget if it was Jimmy or Whit that told me you got it. I don't have any old shots of it. I have a few pics of me and Lee, they're not on this PC, and a video tape from the day I got it. I know it's complete history though. Email me if you need any particular info. I got Lee's mailing address around if you want to drop him a note. I'm sure he'd like that.

Marty, that National is the coolest art deco steel I've ever seen! Can you give us some history on it?

Keep 'um comin'! Awesome eye candy. This thread has turned me on to what the Wright Customs are, wow! just fantastic looking guitars, I bet they sound amazing. How similar to the old Bigsby's are they? Are they influenced by each other, or totally different?....I had no idea, I've always associated Mr. Wright with Sierra, and have only been aware of the Crown series, etc. Thanks!

Brett, the blue stain was purchased for Stewart-McDonald. I sprayed the stain out side and the color ended up a little darker than planned. The color is awesome in the sunlight but appears darker indoors. Thanks for the neat compliment. The guitar was a dirty tobacco brown when I bought it. My wife wanted me to do something about the color and the shade of blue is what I wound up with. I'm going to put a couple of TrueTones in it and it will be good to go. My Pro-III has TrueTones and they seem to suit me fine.

Leon; Your blue Bud is the one that I have been waiting for. I think that dark blue with the ropes and the Sho-Bud emblem is the prettiest of all time in my humble opinion and like. When I see a nice single neck with that color come up somewhere for sale I will be in deep do-do.
