Following on from the video I made when this guitar first came to me a couple of days ago (see: https://youtu.be/Lu60zNQMDGU), I've since spent an hour or so removing two of the springs and setting the bridge up to float which it now does perfectly. While doing this I thought it might be fun to write another Axe patch to suit the occasion, so you'll find a link here for it too. Cheers.
