Electronics mod completed. Added Lindy Frailin P-90 hum cancelling neck and Pure PAF HB in the bridge. In order to do a cleaner wiring job, I got new CTS pots and a switchcraft jack. In the process of cleaning up the 3way switch, I busted off a lead, which meant I wound up putting in a new switchcraft 3way, so the total electronic guts of the guitar were replaced. Setup and sounds clip recordings will happen tomorrow, but for now here are some pictures of the work that was completed.

@QualityMusic
How are you liking the P-Rail and the Triple Shot ring on your BT JM?

I just purchased a used BT JM and I plan on doing the same change.

Also, have you looked into replacing the non-lockout trem with a locking trem (CIJ, US)??
