blank pick up inserts

[eakinj]

I'm not sure what else to call what I'm looking for.

I have a DK2 and I love the body, love the neck, but it's H/S/S and I'm debating making it a single humbucker guitar.

I was curious if anyone makes any sort of insert for guitars to place where the single coils were so the holes aren't so obvious. I'd want them as flush as possible to the body.

I don't really feel like shaving wood and all that other stuff. I'd rather just leave the empty pickup routing if that's the only option.

Oddly enough, I just something like that, on a guitar,somewhere, online, yesterday. If I find it, again, I'll let you know. Shouldn't be too hard to fabricate one, though.

Um, sell it and buy the config you want?
Or, keep the neck and buy the body you want?

Just me, I like to keep them close to original.
Trem swapping (no routing), and pickup swapping is ok, though.

I don't care much about keeping it original, it's an import guitar. I want it to serve my purposes, it's not going to go up in value. If there were real low profile single coils I could put in there, I'd be very willing to consider it.

I have to wonder, how difficult is it to fine a DK2 body with just a humbucker. I'm not against the idea of swapping bodys but it just seems like a bit of over kill.

This is what you do... Get yourself some wood (alder) and shape it to the pickup cavity. Glue it in place make if flush with the body, paint it black, paint 6 poles on it, and the words seymour duncan and make it look like a pickup... So you give it the illusion of having 2 single pickups When in fact its just wood painted to look like pickups.

Put a nice big decal over the cavities in question.

Take the covers off of the single coils, remove the pickups, then just screw the covers in. They should go much lower and will fill the void pretty well.

Have our own Slash (Denny at mojobodies.com) make you a single hum body?

Now that might just work Hmm, he's the one that did that Demon body isn't he?


Actually now that I'm looking at the stuff they build, I'm really thinking this might be the way to go. Hmm, 24 fret tele could be very interesting


I have to wonder if they would be willing to do a death angle body Ah well.

Hey, I think that blank pick-up covers (with no pole holes) are available. you should try ebay or something. looks okay and it's just a straight bolt-on.

Or you could just never touch the pickup switch?

This is exactly what I did to my M6. Black plastic singlecoil covers without holes. Just screw them in using the original pickup screws. Add springs or foam if you want to have it height adjustable. Work great, and looks good.

I have to pull the middle single coil, it's in the way when I play.

I think I like the idea though of ordering a demon body, I just wonder if they'll do one that the 24 fret DK2 neck would fit on. I don't know too much about them

He can make anything you want. Just tell him what neck you have and he'll make a body to fit it.
