    VERY cool. Definitely dig the non-traditional hollow body color.

    Does that style bridge need a wrapped 4th string?

    There was an absolutely dead mint 52 on "Antiques Roadshow" last night.

    You must mean "wrapped 3rd" since the 4th is always wrapped, and the answer for is yes - I always use a wrapped 3rd. Heaviest sets possible.

    It's a 175 retrofitted with a 295 tailpiece, so split the difference and I came up with the designation "275".

    Rings like a bell.
