Got it from Ebay! Though I'm going to change at least the lefty trem, maybe the pups (fender ATM).

Nice. Congrats!
Pornoalarm!
Looking good!
Might I suggest a slightly different paintjob?
Beautiful!
Nice one, I placed a bid on that one too How does the all maple setup sound?
The pups are going, definitely, but the guitar itself is fantastic. Fat tele neck from Warmoth, birdseye maple neck with ebony fingerboard, Massive flame maple top, one piece body (have to understand what is but I believe is maple: the guitar is way over 4 kg, heavier then a LP custom) and spalted maple back (thin), nitro. Schaller tuners with ebony wings, Fender lefty trem and Fender standard pups.

Very bright, going to put some DiMarzio mini HB in it. Prolly ProTrack on the neck, Chopper or AirNorton S in the middle and Super Distortion S on the bridge. All with split coil.
Nice catch! Looks purty
Just picked up a SuperVee Blade Runner for it!

One of the best trems on the market.
I have it on my strat and I couldn't be happier.
Well done, Davide
I need to upgrade the trem on one of my strats. I"d be interested to know your experience with this.
Should be here on Tuesday.
Where did you find it in Europe? I needed to purchase it from the USA.
Zappledan: I had a standard 2 pivot USA term before the bladerunner. The supervee increased sustain and stability, and the tone gained more bass and clearer highs. And the trem action is way smoother than before.
I must say that the saddles, while they sound great, they tend to loose the chroming.
But
Had luck and find a German seller in Ebay. Having the 6 screws vintage Fender trem I should be able to use the existing holes for mounting it, right?
Yep, it will work!
So you got an used one?
Too much luck, man
By the way you need an adaptor only if you have a 2 pivot trem, while it fits immediately the 6 screws trem holes.
Yep, apparently it was mounted once but the seller didn't liked the slightly narrower string spacing.

Dude, you know that this is called vintage? It has to sound MUCH better like that.
Ok guys, I'm thinking of going Tone Zone S on the neck, Air Norton S in the middle and Super Distortion S at the bridge. Opinions?
