JapanAxe Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Body looks like a Burns? But what the blood-and-stomach-pills is that great lump over/behind the bridge? Looks like one of those clip-on spring reverbs for acoustic guitars! Or maybe a Gizmo (electro-mechanical bowing device)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntLockyer Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 Actually the remnants of the original trem. I bought the guitar in this condition in the mid 90s for not a lot of cash. All top quality bits were added on and it is a seriously good guitar. Probably better than an original one but obviously nowhere near as nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Can't help thinking you might have seriously devalued that axe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntLockyer Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 haha sorry I meant I bought the guitar in the mid 90s exactly how it is today not how that white one looks. I essentially saved it from its previous owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The Gizmo didn't look anything like that (well the production models didn't - Godley & Cremes original unit looked a bit more like that). They were made from white plastic. I'll dig my (sadly not functioning) Bass Gizmo out & take a photo of it later if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
