The latest addition to. DROP IN LOADED PICKGUARD. I’ve been thinking about Listing this as an option for some time now and , as usual , it took a specific customer order to motivate me to actually do it. Said order started out as a query on another Listing , during which the customer suggested he may be open to swapping out his pickguard. As I happened to have a couple , in his preferred colour , in stock which IS unusual in itself! , I asked if he’d like me to build his order onto the pickguard , f o r a reasonable surcharge , shielding it in the process? He jumped at the opportunity , and the main photo’ here is the result. Custom pickguard / config’s could also be spec’d but that would require a separate Listing to take into account the extra work involved. If the interest is there? Copper tape s h i e l d i n g IS an option but there’s ZERO difference between the two , other than appearance! The controls themselves can be ANY of the versions Listed in my shop , so I suggest you have a browse , and state your choice when ordering : The main photo’ h e r e i s my SPRAGUE BLACK BEAUTY’ Classic’ version but I’ve included photo’s from my other Listings here , though this one does illustrate the latest spec. Components now i n use ; Hosco DM-50 MiJ 5-way lever switch VERY similar to the CRL equivalent , nice positive op. But not as noisy ; quality Bourns pot’s that are WAY better than those from CTS again , pot. And are based on MY decades long experience as an engineer , not vicarious magazine or YouTube articles! ; I DON’T use cloth-covered wire , for the same reasons no one wires their house with t he stuff just because they used to 70 years ago! , I use silicone wire , because it’s the effing 21st Century , so don’t even ask! Silicone wire is neat , heat proof , and super flexible , and MUCH easier to work with ; capacitors come in a vast range , I have literally 1000’s in stock , and unless you specifically request a certain type / make / model , I will use whatever takes my fancy on the day. In an electric guitar , they ALL do EXACTLY the same job , some just (inevitably) cost me more to source than others. Then, of course, you have the nifty. Screw-fit solderless connectors, so you’ll be able to fit this yourself in a matter of minutes, whether you can solder or not! Now , this basic s e t u p comes as standard with Master Volume & Tone , with the Neck / Bridge Blend , whilst other versions will come with the spec. As indicated in the relevant Listing. ANY of th em can also be supplied WITHOUT the screw-fit terminal blocks if you would rather hardwire the pickups in yourself. Leftys’ also catered for. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings re when you can expect to receive your order. PLEASE ASK ABOUT CURRENT LEAD TIMES? And the available options , thank you. And this is IMPORTANT! A l s o , w i t h the TBX equipped versions , t h e r e is no a l t e r n a t i v e t o F e n d e r / CTS. I f y o u a r e fitting this as a replacement , and your current setup has metric pot’s , the knobs WILL fit the Bourns volume and tone , but NOT the CTS blend , or the TBX. Imperial knobs WILL fit BOTH. If you are unsure I can order new knobs , in your colour choice , WITH the pickguard. Now, it saddens me that it has become neccesary for me to say this, but here it is. You breaking the pot. Does NOT count as. The knob stopped working. On my part, nor a.
