My heavily modified Godin Session got a black hardware facelift and nows looks like a Charvel :

I like those--never owned one, but almost did--but got a different amp instead.
But it was close--and there were times I wondered if I should have gone for the LabSeries--btu then I think--I couldn't have lost either way--a used Lab Series L5 or a Roland Jazz Chorus...
You're absolutely correct IMO.
I was specifically looking for a LAB or a Polytone - the latter would've been a perfect pair with my bass combo - but would've considered JC120 as well had one popped up.

Need a little bit of advice/recommendation...
I'd like to replace the stock hardtail bridge on my Robert Cray Signature Strat with a better one. It works but... it's... just... flimsy. Cheaply made. I don't like it. Would like to have something else more substantial on the guitar, but I do not want to do any drilling or boring out, moving/plugging holes, routing, or whatever. I want a bolt-on replacement bridge. If memory serves, 2-1/16" spacing, USA or MEX string through body spec should be okay.
TIA, ~Ed of H.

Why not get one from Fender? Invalid Link Removed
Not very expensive and should be a straight replacement.

I like the look of that bridge a lot more than the stock one on my guitar, Thanks. Good call there... I will read up on these. Could be just the easy fix I need.

Very cool, not a single boring guitar here!
Not mine, but seen in a local music store (Okay I moved the ukulele to be near the matching guitar.)

Hey - random request here - I’ve been trying to find back issues of Guitar Player mag … specifically mid to late 80s Bruce foreman lessons in the back. Was he a contributing author around that time or am I just imagining that?

That is one of the coolest guitar collections I’ve ever seen. I love every single one. (And now I think I want a gold HH Tele!)
Check out guitarpartsresource.com, which has a few hardtail bridges for Fenders, both Fender and aftermarket. I used to have an MIA hardtail Strat, and it looks like the Am. Standard bridge available at GPR is the same one. I thought it was great, and I like the smooth tops of the saddles.
How my LP copy looked for a long time before the mods (well this was modded a bit--but mostly cosmetically)
I know I must have posted this here before, but as long as I have it out here we go, again. 
Pretty, what are these?I know I must have posted this here before, but as long as I have it out here we go, again.

They are known as guitars. They use thinner strings so that they are easier to play....
