I've had this for 20 years. I've got some other great guitars, but this is the one I'd keep if I had to have only one. It's also the guitar that I've spent the least on. My partscaster builds even cost me more.

What's this? I've been fascinated by different wraparound bridges lately and haven't seen one like this.
The Gibson one Jim's linked and the MojoAxe are both compensated for unwound G strings (instead of for a wound G, like the originals). You can see the difference in the lightning bolt shape at the G string. If you use an unwound G, they're good to go.
I got a MojoAxe wraparound for my Junior, since it already had a replacement when I got it. It's kind of expensive, but I felt it was the right thing to do with this one. It looks nice and also works.
Since starting this thread, a new favourite has emerged.
Despite being rather unplayable (tiny, worn down frets and a bent neck), the sound of this thing is MINDBLOWING. Straight up Willie Johnson era Howlin Wolf.
It sounds like this whether it’s plugged into a tweed deluxe or a Roland Cube 40!
