    Quick test assembly to check the color. Will talk to Perry from Ormsbys this week to see if I want to fit humbuckers instead of the single coils.

      Did you buy it off ebay? I bought a body off a guy who ALSO claimed it to be alder and from USA. When I questioned the authenticity he said "Fort Worth TX USA" I told him he was misrepresenting people by claiming it was American made. He didn't seem to care and got pissed off at me. I still bought it for $100 because it's a nice 375 body. He still is advertising stuff like that. I should report his ass.

            Probably. I had a 275 dlx in all black with the single locking Floyd. I didn't like those Pups at all, those frets are just too chunky for me unless i'm using 11's or higher (i'm a 10s kinda guy)
            anyway, i ignored the fretting for the moment, and put some P-90 soap-bars in the body, had it wired up gibby style, but decided to hot rod it (single vol with a treble bleed, and a 3-way) refinished it in white, got all new floyd hardware to make it double locking.
            I'm just in a fuck it for now mood until i can afford a trem-setter, and either get the neck re-fretted, or get a Warmoth made up.

            Do you guys know if heavier gauge helps these floyds stay in tune better?

              Also, what were the stockers in the 275 series called? I have my set laying around and was going to put them into my buddy's strat.
