Location: Bellevue, Washington | Yeah I've seen the NOS pickguards on the bay, unfortunately i don't think they will fit this guy. Snagged a 1967 Tornado (Serial number 646 with no letters before or after!) so I imagine it uses the very early style pickguard. Most of what I've seen on eBay are for newer T-Heads.
Maybe I should just try to con mister woody into making me a woody special with matching TRC.... |

Location: Bellevue, Washington | As for the trapeze with trem, seriously considering just picking up a Bigsby and throwing that on there instead. Currently it has an old Gibson trem tailpiece, and it works but is a worn gold color and is missing the correct arm. |

Location: Jet City | I've seen Bigsbys work just fine on the Tornado. Beware on the pickguard. My pickguard is unlike the others I've seen. I think the older ones were screwed directly to the body and the position of the cutouts for the pickups are different too. Yours seems to be pretty close to the same timeframe ('67-"68)
The stuff Woody made for me wouldn't fit mine. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | There were AT LEAST three pickguard styles for the storm series. The distance between the pickups (best measured as the distance between the center of the two lower pickup screws) is different as well as their relative placement from the neck. |
