Never had this one happen before. Extremely odd...
You sure that is pickup wax and not other sort of, uh, mucus?

You know I thought about that and there isn't anything at all on the strings. If it came from outside I don't know how it could have hit there without hitting the strings

Haha. Great clip.

Hmmm. About the mystery material the ejected itself out of your pickup....were you playing particularly well the night before. I mean really really impressive good more than your pickups are used to??

It could have been some pickup appreciation material.

My only guess is a short in the pickup that heated up that pole piece (bad wire to pole to gnd) that caused the wax to boil

I know it's been denied but I'm betting it was a precision snot rocket.

I don't see how it could be wax. The pickup would have to be over 140 degrees for an extended period of time. What the heck?!

I've had condensation form inside my guitar case from rapidly changing weather conditions but never has ANY component on any guitar I own randomly puked up potting wax.

That's just friggen strange.

If it isnt wax it would have to be a magical money shot of some sort.

Sadly today was crazier than hell and I didnt even get a chance to look at it and now im too tired to mess with it.
