Looks like he's moved on. Interesting tremolo design. http://www.geocities.com/jbstratman/Flo2after.jpg |

Also, that design is a linear whammy. http://www.geocities.com/jbstratman/Guitar.html Scroll toward the bottom.... I wonder if Mr. Vai will give it his seal of approval. |

If ordering a second one for a Jem in the works is any indication, I would say Mr. Vai likes it. Don |

Hi Don, Good to hear you got another order! Looks like you did some major reconstructive surgery to add accomodate for the more narrow trem. Not being very crafty, how did you make it look so clean (looking at the before paint picture)? |

Brent, There was no way to put my trem in Flo's original body. There was just too much wood scooped out under the trem with nothing left for me to mount to. Ibanez custom shop furnished me a Basswood body less the trem routing. I did that myself, so it was routed to fit exactly. After doing the first install and set-up, I tore everything down and took the body to them for painting, After they finished, I did the final install and set-up and delivered it. I have since done additional work Steve requested. I made a modified block to accept the original Ibanex pull-out arm (which Steve uses as a slide live) and made new stainless "lay-in" (as opposed to "thread-through") saddles. This new saddle design will be the standard now. A great suggestion. Don |

Brent, Finally got my patent on my new linear trem yesterday. Over 2 years of waiting (and 2 days after NAMM). Don |
