I've always thought it was a bit strange that this instrument had a vibrato unit ,as the stress on it from 6 bass strings -all be it lighter than usual ones -must be imense. It must've been a night mare to keep in tune .I'm pretty sure that when I saw Peter play this (at the Lyceum 1970 ) there was no vibrato arm on the guitar, because I surely would have remembered if I'd seen him put his hand on it to bend the pitch!
I tried to make an addition to the Wikipedia entry about Peter Green ,in the section about Peter's equipment,saying that he used this instrument ,but it was pulled by some over zealous moderator type person, because I did not cite references, despite the fact that there are plenty of other facts in the artice which are un cited He also removed a comment I made about Peter using an Orange reverb and 4x12 Orange cabinets cause it was "Too technical "!!
