decided to make a new trem bar that would fit better:
First time I cut a thread. I want to thread everything in the house now.

I couldn't help it and rewound the pickups (well only the neck and bridge)
Tried to squeeze as many turns on the small coil as would fit and got to the 5.5k range.
Made a hell of a difference, way spankier now :-)
here's a pic of my ghetto pickup winder :-)
really awesome!
:D Gotta love them Offsets :D
Any other austrians around here?

Hi David,
Great project! And nice to see you’re a member here, your Twin Peaks has been my favorite tremolo from the moment I bought it from you.
