Whammy bar ? Never seen that on an LP only Bigsby types.

I don't know what the seller is talking about. That's an ABR-1 Gibson style bridge, not a tremolo type. No whammy possible.
I'm also not thrilled about EMG's in there! That just ain't right for this style of guitar. Should be P90's or at least a PAF style humbuckers.

The guitar itself is also pretty "battered" and should be in better condition for $350. All in all, I'd say she's got potential as a classic but overpriced.

I wouldn't pay $350 for that. No way.

Hi. Being the owner of this guitar I will explain to you. In regards to the tremolo, the guitar comes with another bridge that you replace with the bridge shown. The tremolo bridge has coils on the back that sit against the guitar and allow the tremolo to work. Also, it wasn't me that put the upgrades on the guitar. I agree that it isn't the right style for this guitar. That's why I'm selling it =)
