And it begins

Got the first component of my build tonight.
Left handed B-5 Bigsby
I dug right in to tearing it apart.
That string bar with the 6 pins is what I gotta replace.


I was really impressed, needle bearings made in oosa.
I was just expecting some brass bushings.

 On the right, original string bar with roll pins removed.  To be duplicated sans 2 pin holes.


If I am going to go to the trouble of making a new bar, midas well make it out of Ti.
