"Frank in the Tank" this is a great story. Frank was the person during this time putting the electronics in Beans. He may have actually been in the 'Tank' during your build and someone wrote that in there. Frank made electronic modules so if he was unavailable someone could easily drop a module and make a few solder connections and get the Bean out the door.
Could I add these photos to the Bean Photo Gallery?
Thanks!

another question--just trying to resolve this issue about the tuners being replacements/non-orig or not. the tuners totally appear to be orig. perhaps the ebay listing was misinformed? do you guys have any insights? here's a pic:

Hello HiwattBob
Those are Schallers that normally came with Standards/Artists, I was going to say original, but those look slightly different than mine. Could be the reflection/angle. Look in the photo gallery for TB1000A #100, the portion of the post going from the headstock to the tuner (where your fingers touch) has a curved flute. Yours appears to go straight at an angle. Could be a later style of Schaller?
Thanks!

Also, wanted to point out.. that's a TB1000S you have (not TB1000A). Standards have the flat top with dot inlays. Artists have carved top with block inlays.
Thanks!

hmmm. judging by the pics--i'm hard pressed to find anything different about my schallers and the others. i think that must be a different angle or something on the #100. because they certainly look identical to all the others.
i've got a question in to the guy who originally listed it on ebay to see if he knows anything specific.
also--how do you edit thread titles/posts/etc.?
