This guitar has been through a lot in it's short life (it's an '06, lol). It spent most of that time as an Esquire with a dummy pickup in the neck and a GFS Cool Vintage Rails in the bridge. Good sounds, killswitch too, but it was a 1-trick pony.

So I saved it. :)

Jacked the pickup out of the Teisco and got the original stock pickguard cut to accommodate the gold foil p'up. Routed the guitar a bit, but it's a clean neck route that worked out perfectly. I painted the pickguard yesterday morning, happy with the results. Had to shim the route to get the neck pickup high enough, but now it looks and sounds great. 3-way toggle to output. The only downside is that the neck pickup is wound with reverse polarity(?) so the middle position is quacktastic. SIGNATURE TONEZ! :D

If there's any interest I'll post a video DEMOZ later.
