I especially like the white /black look.
I can't see the black one on the black pick guard. Lol

Neither could I, but it did get one, when I first put it together, I didn’t have a humbucker, so I put the single one in with the humbucker holes, then I put a 59 into it, then pulled it apart again to install the invader.. tuned it to D standard, that guitar has a bad ground at the moment , and badly needs a string change..

I would've nicknamed it 'Crusty.'This is either a score or a mistake but I need a change up for my recent Dean "V"
in the bridge position of course.
It has a slight imperfection.
Meet " rusty" and a rat tail lead.
Invader's definitely a cool look though.
Nothing else like it (except copies of it).

This guy is taking for ever to ship. It is finally on the way.
I have lots of pickups to install.
I don't know why I have not done the others. One is the Black 1990 studio. I have to disturb it from stock but I know there are better tones.
My Blue "V" is just sitting with one pickup out. I intended the invader for the othe Dean Black "V" but I need the Blue Water back together.

I used to be anti ceramic, but done well they can surprise you.
Me too!

The problem with the ceramic magnet pickups in the Explorer for instance is it can be harsh.
This pickup I will have to try first.
If it has low end with out being to flabby and top end is not harsh, I will like it.

I bought a Duncan Custom Custom A2 that I thought I would really dig. Turned out (for me) to be awful. I swapped in an A5 still no go. Finally, I swapped in a double thick ceramic magnet and it really cooks for a bridge position pickup. Ya just never know.
That photo was taken before I finished it.
It does have a trem though

Rusty did arrive yesterday.
I removed the screws. The surface is permantly rusted. The bobbins are not looking great.
It looks rough even compared to the picture.
I am cleaning it up. It will never look like a stock invader but hopefully it works better than it looks.

Maybe a Dremel wire wheel?

Actually, I sanded the rust , soaked in a rust removal solution and painted them.
They turned out OK. I guess I could put up a picture?
