[QUOTE="VirtualVincent, post: 10819, member: 1695"] I was going to mention the Britten but Tnecniv Edipar beat me to it :rolleyes:. There is a balance in what I hope to build between several things: desire, authenticity, cost and safety (not necessarily in that order!). The scare stories I've read about girdraulics are terrifying which is why I'm linking of more 'modern' (1965-70) teles. I'm sure there must be a thread on teles vs girdraulics somewhere in this forum :). Perhaps I should just do a Norvin and be happy but I really want to preserve the rear suspension setup (though perhaps with a pair of Hagon shocks that look authentic but have more modern capabilities).
