  • Starting the pickup swap on my latest Ehdwuld branded guitar

    So i started by removing the pickups

    The piezo bridge is bigger which is good
    the saddles are all facing the same way and i may need the rooom for intonation
    I'd hate to have to turn one around

    Sorry- the pics aren't working yet. The fix for now is just host them somewhere.

          well it wont let me do more than the one
          its the url tags mixed in that prevent the images from showing up
          if I replace the url tags with IMG tags it puts one picture up
          but not more than one
          I get the error if I do more than this one

          its like the site sees what I am doing and goes
          oh no, you got me the last time not agian......

            ok video works

            here is a play-through
            what we did was:
            new Pickups - Donlis set matching the JB/Jazz specs that I love so much
            Triple Shot Rings - Flat ones not the carved top version
            Kiash piezo bridge with 100K linear pot

            the guitar now has no tone and independent volumes for the magnetic pickups and the Piezo

                rolled the edges of the finger board with an emory board
                its still rough so you can see the process some wiping and polish gets the tool marks off

                you can see in the sharp edge on the un finished section

                  Well done. That's a nice axe. The cherry back is badass with the dark top.
