Thanks, I hope you're right about getting another; just may take some time. I have a Beagle myself. She is a beauty too, just like my new guitar! Anyway, I talked to the factory today and the pups are mounted to the body; no springs needed. The springs are for the missing wammy bar. They sent me some schematics that weren't on the web site and the person was very nice I talked to. I finally got a chance today to put it through the Budda. Man, what a nice sound...
