Just ordered one. :D Shipping is higher than the actual cost, but still cheaper than what I'd have to pay locally (even with Customs fees).

Thanks for the tip!

Resurrecting this rather old thread, the varitone (Epiphone) switch that I ordered from Guitar Fetish wil not fit thru the "F" holes :( - needs access thru a rear opening. No big deal as the stock circuit is still working.

I also mentioned somewhere that I had seen and heard of ARIA ES users who had swapped out the tun-o-matic bridge for a Schaller roller bridge with noticeable improvements in tone. I was just recently able to obtain one of these (after "thinking" about it for over a year and a 17 Euro price increase) from someone who misordered one (they are available as "standard" and "reversed" - pertains to the orientation of the intonation screws). It was the correct one for my ES, and at less than half the price. The only extra that I had to buy were the 8mm posts (the unit comes with 4mm plus inserts). I'll probably get around to swapping things out next week.
