Thread starter Mojo Stingray Start date Oct 7, Mojo Stingray Junior Member. Anyone have experience good or bad with a Compton on a Starfire II? And can you confirm pole spacing? I think I'm measuring 74mm.
In truth, the TOM is perfectly fine I've just always thought they were ugly. The Compton would certainly be an aesthetic upgrade and, potentially , a more pleasing sound. I don't mind rolling the dice, but thought I'd check in and get thoughts.
Thanks all! Minnesota Flats Senior Member. Joined Oct 3, Messages 1, Reaction score 2, It improved both the tone and the tuning stability over the stock TOM. That guitar was equipped with a Bigsby. That's as close as I've come to a Compton. Tru-Arc Bridge. Last edited: Oct 8, I've got a Compton on my TDP, and it's a marked improvement on the tone, esp. Norrissey Senior Member Gold Supporting. I purchased a '70 Starfire IV about a year ago.
It had the original hagstrom bridge on it. The guitar pickups sounded great through a loud amp but at low volume the bridge and the tailpiece were a bit "ringy" to borrow jp's adjective from above I could hear an extra metallic ringing noise when my pick hit the strings.
