Multi-swirl (gobstopper) Mirage Custom back to life

 

 

Just wanted to share my Mirage Custom that I finally brought back to life after locating an excellent condition Sinclair trem. its been oit of commission for about 6 years. 

I also

buffed out alot of the hairline scratches on the paint

polished the frets

cleaned and conditioned the fretboard

cleaned the pots/pickup selector/input jack

Used contact spray on the electronics

very happy that Its back in playing condition

guitar screams now!

Congrats man!

Had you tried to fit an Original Floyd in there?  I was able to fit an OFR into the cavity on my (black) Mirage Custom, but ended up routing it to gain a bit more depth for pulling up on the trem. But I've seen other people that said that the would have needed to route the cavity a bit wider to fit the OFR.

Thanks dude! No, but I was close to buying an OFR and going from there.

I had to put a Floyd on my 901. Sinclairs are just crazy hard to find, and I need a chrome one, and when I do find one, it's either left handed, or black. Congratulations on finding one!

Hope you find one soon bro!
