Although, through no fault of the seller, my purchase would not work he very kindly offered a return, a very generous response. Thank you...

Really nicely finished
This was a straight swap for the plain neck plate that came on my strat. The F logo makes all the difference!
I used the original screws that were already in the neck just to make sure they were the right fit.

My Les Paul is a whole new guitar!
I fitted this to my Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy.
It’s a bit nerve racking when you’re drilling into your instrument, but it’s pretty easy to fit if you follow the instructions. Plus there’s a few YouTube tutorials that are helpful.
The tone and sustain remain unchanged on my guitar, but the fun of the tremolo has added lots of playability! Definitely no regrets!
I fitted locking tuners and a roller bridge at the same and it stays in tune without any issues.
The only negative is that stringing it up is an absolute pain. You need 3 hands. Use a capo to act as the third one!

If you could only take one lens…
4 of 4 found this helpful I’ve spent years collecting professional camera equipment. Big heavy full frame DSLR’s and heavy 2.8 lenses. My mindset has always been that I need the best gear to take a good photo.
But, carrying all this stuff around is back breaking. I got this lens so that I could try to carry less gear, and it’s been game changing.
The 18-105 fitted to my Sony A6300, combined, weighs less than my Canon 24/70 2.8 on its own.
I’ve found that this lens and my dated A6300 is my go-to setup for 90% of everything I do now. The lens gives a great deal of flexibility given its huge focal range, and for something like the A6300 which has no in body stabilisation it adds another level to what you can capture.
The lens is tack sharp, however the only caveat is that it does have a some warping. The centre of the frame does have some barrel distortion, and there is some light vignetting in the corners. You can remove them in Lightroom, but I find the camera lens correction profile can soften that tack sharp image.
I actually like the look of the photos without correction. I’m an advocate of lenses having character. If you’re looking to get an identical photo from any lens you use which is tack sharp with no distortion across the entire frame then this perhaps is not the lens for you.
For me, the lens performs best in its f8 to f11 range. Opening it up to f4 produces some nice Bokeh but the images are noticeably softer when pixel peeping.
If you’re looking for a lightweight versatile lens for day to day photography then this is an incredible lens for the price. If you need something that performs in low light or something which is a little more scientific with regards to the slight barrel distortion this lens produces, then perhaps there are better but more expensive options for you.
It’s not a replacement for all of my expensive gear. It’s not that much of a unicorn. But for a lightweight run and gun lens this gets more use than any of my other equipment.
The versatility and the price point make this a 5/5 for me. If I was being harsh I’d drop to a 4/5 on image quality just for to the barrel distortion, but for the price that’s an acceptable hitch for me.
