The CA's have a slightly (better to me) different sound, as the added mass of the Grovers seems to allow for better sustain.
Whats strange is that his guitar has an earlier S/N then mine and i
did not get the grovers or the BBs.

This inconcistensy makes me believe his guitar is a special market oriented
editions, if you look at the many other fromthis forum or the historical serial
website there are very few with grovers.
