Alright, I just got those economy pickups. They're rated "OK" and I really just don't have the money for anything more currently... It's just pickups so I'll just get new ones at a later time. I got a good deal on ebay for what seems to be the exact same ones I posted, brand new in the boxes.

p.s Sorry for so many posts.

This is a neck pickup not a bridge. http://www.guitarfetish.com/Crunchy-PAT-High-Output-Humbucker-Black-Neck-Pickup_p_511.html
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

One small problem we found is that it doesn't have the panel for the pots electronics and stuff hole.. For right now my father cut a piece of black plastic out of the bottom of a case for small tool that actually fits pretty nicely, but I don't think it's a 100% permanent solution. :lol:

EDIT: Does anyone know what kind of design/something that could be put on it? Or should it def stay solid Purple?

If the plastic fits nice and looks good then thats all it needs.

I would say a nice solid shiny purple would look best.

Alright. :D

The first one of the economy distortion pickups came yesterday, and the guitar will hopefully be getting painted tomorrow/Sunday! I also got two pots and an output jack from Guitar center.

Well, the second pickup came and it ended up being a SC101-M Duncan designed pup instead of the 12$ "Economy pickup" I though I had ordered. But I guess it's ebay so w/e. Should it work? It looks slightly used but not bad.

SCore!!!
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

:headbang: It'll work as a neck pup? Also, when it is in the hole where it goes, there's like tons of extra room and it just doesn't look that good. Is there some kind of cover that you can get for one like what the Humbuckers have?

yeah it should be fine as a neck pup. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Stratocaster-guitar-single-coil-pickup-mounting-ring-chrome-brand-new-/110981149477?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19d6fdf325
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

Alrighty! And as for the ring thingy for the pup, I don't think that's big enough.. :( I'll measure to be sure but..
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

And it ends up being that the one you suggested is 91 mm from mounting hole to mounting hole, the actual hole in the body is approximately 90 mm so I don't think it'll work...

I just ordered one of these off of ebay! http://www.guitarfetish.com/Humbuck...trat-pickup-Straight-THREE-COLORS_p_4348.html I'm 99% sure that's what was originally on here, or something like it, cause there were hole in the body that looked they'd fit it. We filled them in thinking we wouldn't need them but we can just re-drill them.
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

It's painted. :D It came out pretty good. It ended up being blue instead of purple but still awesome! I'll post some pics later, maybe tomorrow. Should I post them after the single pup cover comes and it's all wired and all(mid nextweek) or just a pic of the guitar with just the neck on and the pups sitting in the holes(tomorrow probs)?
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

Do you think the paint will be dry enough to place the pups/bridge on it 12 hours after painting?
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

tomorrow night(24 hours after painting) I'm planning on putting the whole thing together if that's ok. and either then or the next morning or maybe later I dont know yet, we're gonna wire it, then the humbucker ring comes tues-friday

Might be a tad soft but do it anyway.
 
Re: Alright, can someone put a list together for me?

Well, here are some pictures... Sorry for the terrible pictures, borrowed the camera from my friend, and I have no idea how to use it. I use like 10$ disposable cameras not 300$ huge cameras like this one :lol: It doesn't look perfect but for a first try with me doing some of the painting and having no experience with it until yesterday, it couldn't be better in my opinion!

Haha. It does look quite nice in person. Really shiny. Should anything happen with it now? Like sanding or buffing or something? This just dried after the clearcoat.
