I was recently cleaning and setting up my tribute and I removed the bridge. I found "P.W" etched underneath the bridge plate. Any ideas what it stands for?

Lmao!!! That's funny!

I'm thinking it might be the initials of the person who did the final assembly/quality check or it might be the company that manufactured the trem.

Anybody else out there with a tribute have different markings on theirs?

Actually it's not even that funny, because Japanese can pronounce R quite well as a matter of fact.

There were no ethnic implications intended upon my part.

I was thinking more along the lines of Elmer Fudd.

That's the way I took it too. Didn't think of anything racial. Just the way you spelled it and the way I read it in my head made me laugh.

I don't think its racial at all. People make fun of themselves and accents all the time, think Russel Peters. I live in a country where the language is not native for me and people chuckle at me, I don't mind. To each their own.

muahahaha, thats great especially since Gotoh's are made in Japan. Oh man, I'm going to hell aren't I but I can't stop laughing.

I got the Elmer Fud part, but not the above since that is in my mind quite ignorant. Japanese have the letter R part of their vocabulary and can pronounce it very well, just like the Czech people you are living amongst at the moment.
