Mark changed out the single coil pickups to the SUhr v60lps and the bridge pickup is now a Suhr DSV instead of an SSV humbucker.

Other changes include:

1 - blower switch (the little black button next to the toggle switch) to turn the bridge pickup on regardless of where the 5 way switch is at so I can preset a sound and volume and then switch to the bridge pickup. Because of the limitations of the 5 way switch if the 5 way is in position 2 it goes to the bridge pickup split which I've discovered is a neat 6th sound - more Albert Less sounding than anything

2 - middle tone is a global tone control for everything except for the "neck" humbucker, and the last tone control is for that pickup only to better allow me to dial in a jazzy sound with that pickup.

3 - the last tone control is a push-pull pot that activates a treble bleed when its pulled out. I like to darken my tone a bit by turning the volume down but sometimes keeping the treble up while riding the volume control is useful too...I didn't want to commit to the treble bleed all the time but its nice to have the option to use it.
 
I definitely dug the upgrades. It's ready to cover anything you can throw at it. I think you will really like the treble bleed on a gig.
 
Nice work there Mr. McFeely. Mr. Wein, where are the clips?

I was going to shoot a short vid this afternoon but i discovered that my camera along with several other items have "gone missing" from the studio. If I don't find them by the end of work tomorrow I'm going to murder some motherfuckers.

Wein Smash!
 
That thing looks pretty sweet.

When I first saw it and it's name i figured the 440 was because of the "6 pack" of Pups. (I'm a long time big block Mopar lover)
 
fiddling with the pickup heights today. For a while I was thinking that my "extra neck pickup" was not such a great idea but I think I have it dialed in now :)
