OP
I have a few parts inbound. There will be some updates shortly....
I'll be saving the pickups for last. I'm pretty settled on the Seymour Duncan '59s, but I'm not so locked in that I'm not looking at others.
OP
Tell me straight...if I lived in Florida near you I'd be a shaking, twitching Peavey crack-head, wouldn't I?
I've got a 59 in my Schecter that I've been happy with for about 15 years....good stuff.
That's a hard pickup to beat...but the Carvin C22T/C22N is a top performer in the same ohm catergory...

Im working on the same effect remotely
--- so yeah probably so---HAckmaster was fortunate enough to get to fondle the T-60 (first ones free) and now--- he is IMPRESSED (ask him) --- its addictive --- and you LIKE thin necks......the neck on a T-60 is "like" a Jackson -- front to back (depth) but the width a the nut is narrower and the frets are low---rounded and FAST .......telling man --- play one you'll be hooked
OP
So, boys and girls...my new tuners came in today.
I ended up buying Kluson Revolution tuners, pictured below:
You'll notice there are only five in the picture above. That's because I jumped the gun and installed one before I started taking pictures.
Here it is...awaiting the other five tuners to join it:
Anyway, these are really nice tuners. They are die-cast with a screw-in bushing, instead of the push-in style. They also have a 19:1 gear ratio, which I think I will really like.
I was anticipating that I'd have to drill out the existing holes to install them, but that wasn't necessary. They literally went right in.
Here are all the tools you need: a 10 mm nut driver for the bushings and a small phillips head screw driver for the screws.
Here's a close up of some of the installed tuners. The screws fit right into the existing screw holes from the previous tuners.
Finally, a full-frontal of the guitar, thus far:
A little more progress...not much (these weren't cheap...by the way)...but it's coming along....more to come.

Good THings come to those who wait------er---or do those who wait get left behind?
I know three rights make a left...........
and one left can REALLY NOT MAKE THINGS RIGHT----
A right hook can make more problems than it solves
BUt the right thing to do truly is to ship that white bitch to me for proper flogging!

Very Nice Progress!

Thanks, for the encouragement, Bro.
This is going a little slower than I anticipated, but I am seeing the goal in sight.

Progress, is progress, and your one step closer.....That LP is going to look so nice. Really love the white.
With that shielding, your guitar will be as quiet as they come. Mine is absolutely silent now.
What's the hurry anyway....I know you have other sweet guitars to play. You'll be rewarded with a personalized LP. What's better than that?? Sweet!!

The shielding is the best modification possible.
