chisel please...

..Pickguard arrived today, so it was out with the chisel and work on the route to ensure everything fitted.
I know that Gibson pups don't get in line with vintage fender bridges, but as its a Dirty Finger , you'd never notice.

I like!!!
It was late so I plugged thru the Tascam guitar trainer on Destortion+reverb, this was of course after setting the pitch and checking out the set up (part one, u know how it is..)..I wear a hat so my ears dont melt down from the sounds.

I also decided,as it is an early 80's DF pup, that I'd make the one pot wonder a 1 meg cts audio. Works a treat, and added a heavy duty fender brass series knob.Its just wired through with vintage cloth, simple and effective.
Its a mix n match whic is basically why it came out as a Mary Kaye Blonde n gold special as thats what I had lying around.Good quality american deluxe bridge and srv goldjack setup.The neck is a Warmoth pro with a birdseye maple back and Brazilian rosewood fretboard with the addition of a Fender Malsteen upgrade brass nut.Strap buttons also sourced from fender brass series.
Whats interetsing so far is the way the volume pot effects the sound, which I feel will be positive when I actually plug into the Marshall.
It was an interesting read that EVH used lower outut pafs, as I have one which is based on a 57 Gibson classic but rewound and slightly hotter at 8,5...maybe in the future ..
As I said, I like.
