As some of you know, eSGEe and I do much swapping of things and horse trading in general.
So in the last transaction a little single pickup Peavey Patriot came home with me.
Not having a black guitar, it was a welcome addition to my stable.
Unusual beast for sure. U.S.A. made, Stratish shape, Gibbo 24.75 scale length, 23 frets, maple neck & body.
I played it for a few day and deemed it to be a fine little beast for sure, but it needed a boost of humbucky triple juju from the shed in the swamp.
Parts were ordered.
So what to do while waiting on parts? Yep, you guessed it, strip it down and chop some holes in it.
Let the woodchips fly.
In the meantime parts started to trickle in.
Had three flat Duncan Triple Shots ordered and two sets of Guitar Madness rail humbuckers.
Left the full pickup leads on, just wrapped them around the pickup screws and soldered up the triple shots.
Then fit & mounted them.
It has a huge control cavity.
Right now it's only one knob. I spaced out room for four.
Was thinking three concentric volume / tone pots. If I go that route I might have to respace things.
Also toying with the thought of putting the middle pickup on a switch that will reverse phase with the other two, and a switch that will put the middle & neck pickups in series.
To be continued...
