Welcome to Gaia! ::

They're by no means on the smae level as DiMarzio in the expressiveness category, but they damn sure have a whole lot more range of expression than the stock Fender that I replaced. I would put them on more of a Duncan spectrum, assuming you that when you think Duncan you think killer tone and when you think DiMarzio you think killer expression and shape. IF you catch my drift.

So, continuing on:

Here's the ibanez pickup hanging out of the front:






and we've got the wiring tangle and jumble in the back. I really couldn't get much for a decent picture while I was soldering (I've only got 2 hands):


so here's the last one for now, the wire detached and ready to be removed:



That's all for now folks... tune in soon!

Cheap too.

Is it hard to find where you live or somthing?

Ah!

The man behind the Avi!

I thought we'd never see your face, Ash.

xd I hadn't realized i'd never posted a picture! d'oh!

Maybe I'll post one of me with my hair of doom >.>

Well, here's the next bit in my series of Pickup replacement. I know there's holes, but I could only work so slowly to get pictures in.

so here's the guitar, totally stripped out:




And there's another with the new neck pickup hanging out of it...(you can see the old pickup on the dresser)



And finally, there's one more with a close up of the pickup.




to all using dial-up: Sorry about the image size.... I guess you're probably in the minority now.

Well, not to be one-upped by Hylian, I finally decided what I'm going to do with the Teisco parts I have. I'm going to put it back together! Of course it wont be the same, oh no no. A complete rewire is necessary, and it will become a 1 pickup 1 volume guitar expressly for playing slide blues. AAAAND so I don't keep you all waiting, I've already redone the wiring, so she's all ready to be reassembled and stringed up. Here's some documentation....


This is the before shot of the harness; it's a desolate icky looking place, no? Also, you can see a bit of my guitar "workshop":


and a closeup:



The "after" shot. Much better, don't you think?


And a close-up of that, too. I've even labeled some stuff for all of you that would like to start doing your own guitar maintinance and/or wiring... notice the grounding star on the back of the volume pot. This is where all ground connections should go, including the one that goes to the bridge or tremelo claw (thats the long black wire that runs off-screen). Also notice that I use the standard colors for all my wiring, with black being ground and red being "hot". this makes it much easier for others (and sometimes yourself) when going back through to do maintenance on the wiring.


And finally the glamour shot! More pics and documentation to come as I start to piece this baby back together. There's really no more maintenance to be done to her, so I should be able to get it all finished tomorrow... hopefully!
