Contemplating the impossible

[Newc]

...or the insane, however you want to look at it.

Thinking about changing the 59/Jazz combo in my Jazz'R (yeah, the one where everything has to go in through the pickup cavities).

Any pickup suggestions? 81/81? Invader/Distortion? CC/59?

[Trussrod]

L500xl/sh2n?

[Newc]

Was thinking more of what I had on-hand, actually.

Really thinking about putting in the P-Rails from the Morton, but they actually sound great in the Morton already.

[Dreamland_Rebel]

tell us more about that particular guitar.

Are you going to try to just feed the new wires in, or do you have a plan to pull in a piece of twine or floss or something as you pull out the old wires, so you'll have something to pull the new ones in?

[RacerX]

Well, what type of music will you playing on it?

[Hellbat]

Uzbekistani polkas I bet.

I think for a quirky guitar like that you need a quirky pickup. Move the p-rails from the morton and get a p-rails hot to replace it.

Hollow neckthrough, Spruce sides, maple top and back, no control cavity routing and thus no covers. Everything goes in through the pickup cavities, including the pots and jack.

String was definitely a part of the plan.

Fixed :p


Whatever I can. Thrash, Blues, Prog, Sabbath-Maiden-Priest-Carlton

I actually find the P-Rails to be hot enough. Not sure why anyone would want such a thing to be Distortion-class.

I'd love to see some pics of the process.

I think I'd stay with the '59/Jazz combo.

+1

...but if you must...and we all know you must...then go with the CC/59. Please, please, PLEASE...I'm begging you...do NOT desecrate that thing with EMGs or an Invader!!!!!

[sully]

+12

Leave the Jazz'r alone and make the 12 string Dominion happen.
