If you know the story of the FR speedloaders you know they took special strings that FR stopped producing thus screwing everyone who bought their guitars (very sad story). I could'nt see just sticking the guitar in the closet like alot of folks did , I replaced the speedloader bridge saddles with standard locking FR saddles (it's a FR bridge after all) and installed a new compatible neck and tuners and it was a nice playing guitar again.
This is the hard tail version , no trem and i'm always swapping out pickups so not sure what they are aside from the neck is some type of p90 and bridge is a hum .. cream body binding on top , they claim it's a quilt top , you can be the judge of that one.
Original neck and bridge saddles included
