    OK So I went and did it!
    Bare Knuckle Vintage type reliced Strat neck Pup.
    Not only does this look like a factory spec'd job but it also sounds great!

        I still would've tried the push/pull first, but the H/S look does look nice! It's your guitar and, as long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

            Have to say I love the wildcard #2's, without the neck pickup myself. Still, digging the yellow headstock a lot though. Very early 80's! I do think you have blasphemed with the neck rout though and are perhaps now are at serious risk of being struck down by lightning.

            Anyway, that's not relicing, this is relicing:

From the classic Super Distortion to the D Activator and the single coil-size humbuckers like The Tone Zone, Chopper, and Area Hot T. They produce great tone that allow me to dial in any sound I need from clean to dirty, Strat quack to funky Tele, or full on Humbucker. They just work.”


            I think the same workshop did Mr Ojeda also. Nah!! He's still young and that guitar is road worn not reliced!

            You can't really be jealous of something you can't fathom.

                  It's funny how guitar buyers seem to fall into different categories':

                  1. Buy pristine factory guitars, take of belts and watchs to avoid buckle rash, scratches and polish them every time they play them -returnto case until next time.

                  2. Buy factory guitars and never change or personalise anything so they can be resold as original and unmodified

                  3. Buy a guitar and change everything on it for no reason other than its a project and kills the boredom!

                  4. Buy a guitar irrespective of price, condition, resalevalue, colour or trends because it plays like nothing else and already feels like an old friend -make changes because it suits your individual style - keep it well setup and functional but have it in easy reach for a quick shred -enjoy the fact it has your sweat on it and that dink where your singer knocked it over!

                  I fall into the last group but weare all different!

                  I'm never planning on selling thisguitar so just want it to be the best tool for my playing ...and now it is!
