I tried to keep the original vibe but could not help changing a few things here and there.
Flipped the logo around, did not really like how it was before, only makes sense for guitars standing in a display :-)
The original bridge was not too bad but it cut into my hand when playing so I replaced it with a roller bridge.
Along the volume and tone knob, the third knob has a rotary switch with various caps to cut lows.

It plays surprisingly well. The neck, although I shaved quite a bit off, feels like half a tree trunk.
The trem has a tendency to not go back to place, creating slight tuning issues. Will see if I can improve that somehow.

The pickups are fairly weak and not really bright. But boosting the highs makes them come alive. Still deciding whether I leave them like that or try to rewind them. In the end, I don't want this guitar to sound like any other guitar I have.

It's definitely fun to play with and so light compared to my Jazzmaster :-)

Threads like this are absolutely a guilty pleasure. I could spend all day on these.

I couldn't help it and rewound the pickups (well only the neck and bridge)

Image

Tried to squeeze as many turns on the small coil as would fit and got to the 5.5k range.

Made a hell of a difference, way spankier now :-)

here's a pic of my ghetto pickup winder :-)

this thread just keeps getting better and better, keep it up and would love to hear a demo once you get it to a point where you are happy with it

Can you start a thread to show us the ghetto pickup winder build?
