Tinker’s island...

I already ordered new pots and a harness from Robert's Tone Man. With Ray's pups, the guitar will be the least expensive part left

Nice Jag too....

You know, Adrian...I got some single coils here somewhere...I think they are old GFS models????

I'm also about to pull a set of GFS Classic II's if you want to try them out...like a KPH-167/168 IIRC.

These are old Fender imports I think. Bar magnets, 2 conductor, both are around 5.2k

I forgot I had this - Von Herndon prototype pickups - 17k/16k - Tone Man harness, Bourn pots, K40Y tone caps (.033uf/.015uf) dual tones with a master volume.







Also, found a 15.8k cream/cream double slug humbucker...

You know... you can’t trust a man who is too neat.

That time they save by not having to look for stuff is used to plot taking over the world!

My garage is a mess, but is an organized mess. I know exactly where everything is, even the stuff buried under other stuff.

We moved into a new place in December. I still have unpacked boxes of music stuff!

I built that for my Stratocaster and never used it. The pick ups are a hot-rodded replica of a DiMarzio Super Distortion.

COOL!

Well the guinea pig arrived yesterday. This will be my "lets learn how to do that" on guitar. Adrian made me buy it.....
