One day these will no doubt be available individually. Looks like lots of fun.

I've been gassing for one of these for ages, been a long time fan of Rick's work and unlike other trem or bridge innovations it looks like it should be a drop in replacement!
How can I be sure I'm here?

Yeah, I had one of those graphite mofo's. Never used the trem, hated the 80's tone. It was however the only guitar I could walk around my flat playing without having to be careful of the headstock, even on the bog... Sold it to Hillage who still plays it...
