Forrest White BLACK Fender S8 made for Jerry Byrd (Satin Strings)

[J D Sauser]

I remember well when this guitar came into auction in the 1990's. I think I am not the only one who still regrets not having bought it.
Well, SOMEBODY did.

If the owner is reading this or someone could introduce me to that person, I would love to communicate. Not that I am trying to "take'er away" from the owner... just that I would appreciate getting some details about the changes, like:

- how the bridge is attached to the body (the bridge has the Fender typical "intonation" screws in it's back, but I wonder if the bridge is only held "down" by string pressure or tightened down with screws from underneath after the intonation is set?

- string height over the fretboard: The triangular custom nut seems higher than the Fender typical round bar.

Thanks!... J-D.

Forum member, Howard R purchased that guitar. I assume he still owns it…?
