Same DeArmond knock-off pickups like the one in my "Dadcaster?" (Which, unfortunately is now at my girlfriend's house to sit unplayed. Fuck being a nice guy.)
Thats exactly how I made the PG... I'm amazed it turned out so well. And yeah, DeArmond knock offs. exactly like yours, but two of them.
I'm excited...

After this one... I may have to hold off on any more projects for a while. (Yeah, right...) All the building and such is actually interfering with my actual practice time. Plus I've got two painting promised and I've got to finish the pattern for my King Buzzo stuffed animals...
I severely need more hours in the day.

Ah, but with the body and PG routes it'll make it easy to drop in mini-buckers or the like. Should I ever choose to that is.
They look exactly like yours though.

and they sit in the routes, like a real guitar.
Actually Mr. Smartass, they're surface-mount pickups; the routing serves very little purpose. My Teisco's body was routed like that as well.
ACTUALLY mr smratarse, i had the pickups lowered pretty far down, and they did sit in the pickup routes. mine mounted to the surface, from under the pickguard. yours mounted to the pickguard.
ends: i was way tired when i got home, and was unable to get the pics loaded up. i promise i will do it tonight. super duper big weiner promise.

Not a problem. It's very much appreciated.

alright, i'm still not home (16 hr days never end...), but while i was at work, i found some pics of the same guitar on ebay about 6 months ago, that sold for about $160.
