Burns tremolos have their following over at the Gretsch forum but they have issues. The latest thing I've done to get this one usable is adding a pinned roller bridge.
It's better but still not great.
Let me tell you the story about the shiny chrome on the handle. When I got the guitar the hardware had a beautiful 50 year patina. The kind of look that the custom shop charges extra to simulate. (And that gets guitar forum members all worked up.)
The guitar needed a lot of work when I first got it. My buddy was the first one to take a crack at it. When I got it back he had made it "better" by taking steel wool to the handle. Well I didn't specifically tell him to leave it alone so it was my fault. I bit my tongue and said thanks but I've felt a little bad about it ever since.
