IN THE MEANWHILE...
i've returned the body back to a JAZZmaster, since it had that awful DiMarzio in the bridge.
got one of them cool Bullock pickups here in the F/S section and hooked it up - LOVING it!
SO cool the modding owner didn't hack up the pickguard. 4 little screw holes, that's all.
i bought a sheet of foamy and cut it into little strips, stacked and glued them together to the aprox. right height (need to lower the bridge a bit and un-shim the neck i realized)
i also had an old 60s pickup cover laying around (slightly other color than the neck one, but hardly noticeable). so here we go!
she'll be SO hot with the restored neck back on. YEAH!
cheers!
i love delay SO much ...that i procrastinate all the time.
