Dub's Wacky Project Guitars Thread--we're baaaaaack

i would do more Electromatic Jets if i didn’t have other guitars with the pickups that would fit them…i already have hot and cold running P-90s, Firebird pickups, and Guild mini-hums and am sorted for Filtertrons and Dynasonics. i suppose i could do one with HiLoTrons but i’m not into them despite loving the Jesus and Mary Chain. i really like the light weight and mostly-hollow construction but they’re not suited for everything. i wouldn’t want to do the amount of woodworking necessary to put PAF-sized humbuckers in one. i guess three Jets is enough.

i ordered a set of Spertzl locking mini tuners for the Tele neck. people on the Gretsch Pages were potty for Spertzl tuners because Brian Setzer used them and i’ve never seen them in real life. one more brand of tuners tried. i also got a Mad Cat-style speckled yellow/brown tortoise pickguard. i wanted a fire stripe guard like the Oriole, but apparently that material is near-unobtanium and this coordinates with the Sherwood Green better. once the body is available i’ll only need a control plate drilled for a toggle switch, a modern Tele bridge, the pickups and electronics, and a jack plate that mounts outside like god intended. fuck that jammed-into-the-hole business. oh, and strap buttons…i can use the ones from the batch of Epiphone Bonamassa 335 parts.
