Like others I do not like gold hardware or any vibratos. I had a '66 ES 345 way back when, never really loved the varitone. I would rather see a wilshire jr. or Special with 3 on a side tuners. Epi made some interesting guitars, more reissues of those to fill in the blanks next to the gibson copies. No skinny nuts, at least 1 11/16. Thanks.
