  1. Awesome glad it worked out. I'm with you. I have no interest in spending 2-3k on a 335 but don't mind putting in the money to keep this Sherry for life. I've had mine a couple months and enjoy it everyday.
  2. Update - just got my guitar back from the tech. Had a Browns Custom Shop wiring harness put in, 57 classic in the neck, 57 classic plus in the bridge, a new nut and setup done. Looks and sounds fantastic.
  3. I know right! I have some Nickel 57' Classics that will go in once my new wiring harness comes in the mail. Pots are TERRIBLE in this baby.
  4. Thanks for the ideas and if I didn't already find a cheap set of perfect condition 57's I'd would have looked into these. Thanks
  5. So the guitar arrived yesterday. Found a creative option for a bridge that seems to be working great. Thanks to the help of Seastone I knew I need some converters. Found some on eBay but they have regular website. Thought I'd share my findings for those in the states looking for these babies. Philadelphia Luthier Tools - Conversion Posts I wasn't going to replace the bridge until I got the guitar and had a look over it. Was planning on ordering the Duesenberg one but thought I'd see the bridges I had hanging around. Come to find the Compton Compensated bridge I had from my old Pro Jet fit the new conversion posts but were super tight. Anyway I just took a small roundfile and gave it a couple runs to give the posts a little more room and on she went. Was not expecting the intonation to be perfect but it is really really good. It at least got me started and is better then the original with a broken saddle screw. Am planning on switching everything to Nickel (57 Classics, Grover locking) so I threw on a Gotoh Stop tail that also need a little filing to fit the post width. Anyway thought I'd pass on some info.
  6. Here's an image of the bridge from the ebay listing. Looks to be the odd ball.
  7. Yeah Duesenberg USA has the bridges for sale on there site but not the posts. Found these and think it should work Ebay link
  8. Thanks for the reply. That's what I was afraid of. Will have to see when the guitar gets her on Thursday! I can't seem to find any US sellers of m4-m8 converters.
  9. Thanks a bunch for the info. I'm very impatiently awaiting the arrival of my first Korean Sheratons. Its a dark vintage burst. Have been lurking about before the purchase and since trying to learn as much as I can. My bridge is the big fat version that looks to be the odd ball size. Question I have for you is did the Duesenberg bridge fit right on the original posts of your Sheraton or did you replace those too?
