Options for change are plenty. However, I’d given the guitar a chance to settle for a while longer before changing anything that had been designed in the building process over month. In the end it’s your turn and I bet you are happy now. The knobs are fitting nicely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptm1diver Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Question? is that a P90 and humbucker combination and if so, how do you like the combination? Thanks and beautiful guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadgerDave Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thanks for the comments. The knobs are a bit of a joke, I replaced them with the originals after taking this photo. The pickup replacement is probably permanent. I provided Mike with the pickups so I feel OK in changing them since they are not part of his design concept. The neck unit is a Lollar staple, which is similar to a P-90, but slightly better in every way! I think a P-90 neck pickup and a minibucker in the bridge may be the perfect combination, especially in a semi-hollow or hollow body guitar. Full size humbuckers in these guitars can get muddy, especially in the neck position and don't do clean as well as a single coil. The Faber bridge is a simple and elegant design. I like it a lot, but I actually prefer the original version with the front cut away in a staggered pattern over the newer dual bar version.

Jakeboy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 "Thanks for the comments. The knobs are a bit of a joke, I replaced them with the originals after taking this photo.” Joke? Those knobs remind me of the knobs on my Blonde Bassman and they look great....easy to grip with a pinky....easy to see....I have fuzz pedal with the blonde knobs and it makes me happy....
