Just beautiful. While looking through the pics I was thinking about how heavy it must be. Then I saw the casters on the front legs. I just started chucking. That's like something I'd do. LOL!!

The casters on the legs are original. Triple neck and quad neck Bigsby steels came this way so the player could easily reposition the guitar for playing the outside necks.

The caster legs are actually back legs, that's how PA instructed to set up his guitars. You can see the ferrules on the crutch rubber legs, they are there to prevent the pedal rack from sliding up the legs when you press the pedals. The rack should be below the ferrules. On this guitar they are just set too low. Could be also that Oma set the rack between the ferrules and the leg adjusting collars but that's not how PA intended it.
