Well maybe I should post this in the Projects section...

Lemme get into it, see what it needs other than the whole pickguard/electronics - hate them 80s shred pickups. Only one of them seems to work, not sure, as this Shadow pup is a machine by itself with the integrated EQ and such.
It has a 9v battery in it, been routed for a back access/plate.

Stay tuned!

Btw, serial is only 2 digits...
i love delay SO much ...that i procrastinate all the time.

I know all about your jaguar, but I don't really associate crack whores with active shred metal pickups.

I call it cocained or something.

Ok so does anyone know how I have to wire that thing up again? Just want 2 pickups, a volume pot and an out put.

BUT HOW?!

What are the necks on these like? Always been curious about ‘em since I saw Ash Bowie of Polvo playing one :freako:

Since I can't figure out the buttons switching thing (HELP?!) and I don't have a 3 way toggle around, I just made this.

Next: adjust the neck/truss rod.
