| New Baseplate Option |
 |
The latest option in the evolving Stetsbar range is a rectangular black anodised baseplate. This was originally developed for guitars like Gibson's Flying V or Firebird but is also gaining favour with some ES 335 owners.
The unit is priced the same as the gold or nickel mix models and is immediately available. Click the picture for a larger image. |
| Snowy White on tour with Roger Waters and Stetsbar |
 |
Snowy White - is one of the UK's premier blues orientated guitarists.
Snowy has played with Peter Green, Thin Lizzy and Pink Floyd as well as enjoying a long career as a top class session musician and fronting his own band the "White Flames".
Snowy is currently playing with Roger Waters on his latest world-wide tour.
Snowy is pictured above, at a tour sound check with his Stetsbar equipped Les Paul Goldtop.
Snowy says "I don't feel comfortable playing Stratocasters so I found a 1998 re-issue of my '57 Goldtop. The feel of it ,the neck especially, is similar to the guitar that I have been playing for the last 37 years. Then I had a 'Stetsbar' fitted, which is a new type of tremolo arm.
It fits in the existing holes which take the bridge so no changes have to be made to the actual guitar body and it can be removed at any time and the guitar returned to normal.
It's a great piece of kit, and I'm very happy with the way it works. I had the guitar set up so that it feels as close to my old Gibson as possible, so now I feel comfortable playing either of them."
