I put a SD Seymorized mini in the neck and a 59 in the bridge. It sure sounds a whole lot better than it did. But I also changed out all the electronics to US parts also. Those cheap Chinese made pots and 5 way switch had to go.

Hy everyone,

I built in the 59 slant, but now I´m going to move the Pickup frame 3mm to the left, because E-A-D-G magnets are very far away from true position. So when I look at your photo it´s ok if they are at the middle.
Did you have to move it too?

And the Mini Cap looks very nice,
what´s the advantage of replacing the chinese electric?
pickup combinations changed? sound?

Would be nice to hear the mini in nighthawk, and to know if it´s sm-1 2 or 3 =)

Greetings! I hope you´ll understand my syntax.

Sunburst ist much nicer than my translucent I think :(
