Leo-T? With a trem?? Ummm, yes please!
.
This Leo-T came back in for some very cool mods to tailor it perfectly to the new owners needs. Swapped out the original T-style bridge and pickup for a @vega_trem and a @madlovepickupspedals T-Top style humbucker. Add in a Super 5-way switch for max tonal versatility and BOOM - what an axe!
.
First time installing a Vega Trem and I have to say - they're incredible.
.
I always intended the Leo series to be 'mod' friendly. So this exercise makes me very happy!

Had the pleasure of building this rather tasty T-Style body for the one and only @troycassardaley.
.
Featherweight Palownia, with checker binding and a dark Bourbon Burst in a 'closset classic' lacquer finish. Loaded with Sliders pickups and an @ilitchelectronics guard!
.
Was so great to build a guitar for not only one of the nicest guys in the music industry - but one of the nicest guys I've ever met! Thanks Troy!
