MIM strat pickups, 3 way switch that goes B-BN-N, then a 2 way switch that turns on the middle pickup so it goes bm-all-nm
I am having a bitch of a time with the hum though, if i run it straight to amp it isn't bad, but throw a compressor and fuzz on it and it is terrible. When i touch the strings it does solve some of it though, would that mean the bridge cup needs better grounding?

very beautiful man, if it plays even 25% as good as it looks it will be worth every penny.
i'm excited for you to get it, and for me to drive 3 hours to try it out.

Did you do the black blocks and binding on the jazzthingy? I am doing my homework on a project and was wondering what material to use for the blocks.

they were acrylic from paul, but he doesn't have any more. in hind sight, i would have just put stickers on the raw wood and cleared over them.
