Turning now to the strat copy. Here it is dry fit with the original PG wired up with the guts taken from the Squire, and new knobs and tip. I really think this guitar will sound and look great when done. The neck really is pretty nice, and the PG is looking good with the new knobs, and pickups. And as I said, I really like how these pickups sound. It was just an easy swap from one PG to the other. Anyone want a Strat SSS 3ply white PG?
All I need to do now is install the new switchcraft jack I have ordered, wire that up, and connect the grounds, install the new tusq nut, string it up, set it up, put one of
@Mark Wein 's fire sale straps on, and I will be done! This project will take priority now over the Squire as the oldest is leaving in two weeks, and the other two kids can wait, or grab one of my guitars if they want to play in the meantime.
Derek's (my oldest) original and kind of unique PG has ended up aging and yellowing a bit naturally and nicely, so it isn't so darned white. It has an original scratch he put in, and his guitar has a paint chip or two for character. I like it. And more importantly, he does too.
