The Paduak
On the frontpage It says:
'Two versions of the Paduak I appear in the April 1983 US pricelist, one without a trem at $299.50 and one with a trem at $329.50.
None of the catalogues mention a model with a trem.'
And no pics of the trem version are shown either while... http://forum.westoneguitars.net/t111-restored-paddy-finished-finally?highlight=Paduak
(Barry?)
Came to think of this because I stumbled upon these:
Paduak I
http://yahoo.aleado.com/lot?auctionID=t359804420
and Paduak II (Nice pics really! Can they be snatched?)
http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/s364391920/lang/ja/rc/yaucb
Looks almost mint but apparently the front hb aint working and the neck is slightly warped...
If only it wasn't such a hasstle to go shop in Japan.
BTW
The Heavy duty bridge on the Paduak II at least

I can certainly add the pix from the resto thread you referenced, but the salient question was never answered: is that an original trem? It looks like OEM but it would be nice to have it confirmed. Damian, any experience here?
My anti-virus program (FSecure) blocked the Yahoo URL above as potentially harmful, so I did not visit it.
The pix from the Buyee site can be reworked and some added if necessary, but I think we have quite a good representation on the web site now.

Re: The Paduak
If it's in the catalogue and there's obviously trem equipped guitars it must exist.
Apart from the II with the 'heavy' brass bridge there's also quite a few Paduaks with different style bridges.
Also with the Thunder type bridge.
