It is a Lyre vibrola, I read a lot on Everything SG prior to buying the guitar. Most people said they just need be worn in and that the actual design issues were worked out by the second production run (which my guitar is from). I'm probably just going to beat on it for another week or two before I start considering swapping parts or taking it into a shop.

I see... I'll just be over here if you need me to remind you of things you've already tried.

Lube the nut and any other moving parts and then, like you said, work the **** out of it. Should improve things a ton.

Nice Zep nod!

Original. 100 year old pine finished in old school nitro. Ron Kirn is the master.

Year and a half later and still crackin' a smile every time you post it. One of my favorite guitars on the internet.

As much as I've been noodling on the new SG lately my fingers still call the Tele home.
