It's also a mini pot not a full sized it came from the rg550xh.Originally posted by Wattage View PostThis thing is a total Rock N Roll warrior! I compounded the hell out of it with Meguir's Scratch X2.0 and buffed it out with some Turtle Wax Pure Carnauba. It shined up really nice and still has all the wear and patina, funky but chic!!!
I plugged in at rehearsal and my whole band went "whoa! wtf!?!" it smokes
The '59 in the bridge is perfect for it, putting together an A8 '59 for the neck, right now it is a just a parts box Epi neck pup. Making a control cavity from some used up KISS Alive vinyl with the old Casablanca logo. I can't believe how well this went together, it plays and sounds fantastic! I used 500k CTS pots, an old .022 Yamoto cap, Switchcraft jack and a box switch because that is all I could get to fit right. The reflector knobs give it a little pop, I really like the way they look. Found a bridge in the UK, tuning pegs in Hong Kong(!) and Planet Waves strap pins at GC. The Iceman truss rod cover is on its way Repro Parts.
