I just told Ceri that I'd ordered it and she was far more forgiving than I expected...
Part of the conversation went like this:

Mrs: "Can it do anything that any of your other guitars can't?"
Me: "Hmm...look at the lovely ferrules..."

If she took THAT well then I envy you!!

aye, that's the one.

They're a tight fit to be sure, but they save the need for mini-switches and the like.

500k for a humbucker

Looks great!

Ibanez has a yellow JetKing too. You don't see to many solid colored yellow guitars out there.

Hmmmmm P90 goodness, i might need to save some pennies for one of those, i fell in love with P90s after seeing a guy called Phil X on Youtube doing a Joe Walsh track, he was using a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top and to me the tone that came from this thing is the reason why electric guitars should always exist, turn up your volume and fast forward the video to around 3:47,..... awesomeness

Yeah thats where i get most stuff from. awesome service, the only problem i had was the mix up with the tuners which i gotta say was corrected in quick time, always my first port of call.

There's a reason for that. They look gross.

Lolz, probably.

that yellow jet king looks great. curious to hear those pickups.

lolz at isaac posting that omar with a vox pic. he only plays those when he jams on frusciante stuff or his solo stuff. yet they feature him on their site.

And mine has arrived

Pretty impressive I have to say. First thing that strikes me is how tiny the body is! I'll take a pic of it up against my Jag tomorrow. And stock pup isn't too bad actually...has certainly got plenty of bite.
Thanks Paul for giving me the idea to do this

Pics and review tomorrow.

Oh no.... i'm gonna start fiddling again, so would like some more advice/opinions, it's looking like this is going to be my main guitar so i would like it to be as versatile as possible so i've done some looking around the net for bits and bobs and come up with the following idea, how about coil tapping (as already suggested) the humbucker and then fitting a Tele neck pickup with one of the rings in the pic below, i'm looking for a blues tone out of the neck pickup, i could fit another neck humbucker but it's getting a little too close to the neck pocket for my liking, what do you think, BTW those rings are made of brass if it matters to you.

Simon M · Post by **Simon M** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 10:50 pm

I say go for it, Paul. You've already done such a great job with the humbucker - it genuinely looks like a professional job - so why not add the front pup if this is going to be your 'main squeeze'?

Good idea to use the tele mounting gear, too. It should sound (and look) really good. Nobody else will have one like it, either, which is a plus (in my book, anyway).

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Sat Oct 17, 2009 11:01 pm

Are Tele neck pickups good for blues, never had much to do with them TBH, or do they need to mixed with a Tele bridge pickup, also my main concern is gonna be drilling a hole from one cavity to the other so i can run the neck pickups wiring, Hmmmmmm what to do.
