Happy camper!!

Thanks, Steve; I'm looking forward to putting the old girl back to OEM specs with that humongous Electra bridge, eh! I mean the Wilkinson is a great wee piece of kit, but I've yet to see a sustain block as chunky as the one that came with the Phoenix; it was a real shame that someone had screwed down the the front edge and chewed it up so badly that there was never a hope of restoration.

I've just taken the tapered Westone knobs off it and whacked on some notched speed knobs..... not sure which I prefer now!! :lol:
