I picked this up today. It's from Japan,made in the '70's? Is this is a Crestwood or a Wilshire? The pickups have been changed to Dimarzios: Air Norton in the neck and Super II in the bridge(like Josh Homme!).Tuners changed to Schallers. Original case too.

looks like an crestwood, purely based on the pickguard, and the headstock.

Do you just have a sweet guitar shop around you or do you ebay them?
That might be one of those "don't ask" details but I really wish I had a guitar shop like with the kind of stuff you buy. So awesome

Congrats WTR, I like that a lot. Any idea how old the DiMarzios are?

My friend on another forum told me that DiMarzio introduced the Super II in 1977 and stopped making them in that plastic case in the early 1980s. Here are some photos of the Super II in my friends guitar.

No this is when it was daft...
Got that sticker at the merch booth when I flew to see Daft Punk in Seattle in July 07, put it on Jag, then thought "man, stickers are dumb," and took it off on new years 08 when I was pissed out of my mind and unable to think rationally.
But now I wish it was still on there and I can't find those stickers anywhere.

maybe you won't be able to find the exact same color, but:
Yeah I know, believe me I've looked. Those ones are all cut at the edges, the one from the concert had a clear backing that kept it all together. Stupid tiny detail but I don't think I could get another one unless it's the same.

I'm down to three functional electrics as soon as I sell the red Jag HH... The Reverse V, the blue Jag HH, and the Tele/Esquire partscaster in my sig.

I found three of them on eBay at different times about three years ago. Two were BIN $30, the other had a starting bid of $10 and was listed as an unknown pickup, I got it for $14.
