Canary Fretboard over Mahogany Shaft?

Someone did this with EMG SA pickups once and the whole system was dead quiet. Of the Brian May guitars that I’ve played, each of them have an unbearable noisy hum in one of the switch combinations, which is not unlikely as they are all passive single coils.

Next week, Hot Topic will resume stocking spandex pants for the first time since 1988…

I’m hesitant to answer, OP could be a bot working for the wife trying to entrap him, I’m staying clear…:cool:

Same inline path to the tuners, so functionally the same. The lower beac is just a different look. All preferential options.

You’re supposed to roll the chicken livers in batter and deep fry them, or use them as catfish bait. Patience Grasshopper, Patience. Do not eat the liver until prepared properly…

I apologize, I mistook this for the OP pics of the Strat.

But, in theory, a loose shield braid when crammed under the hood could come in contact with a terminal and cause this…

I’m gonna grind up against corksniffery and tradition and throw EMG Actives into the mix. I love the SAV singles for Strats and their associated variations, and their standard “T” set for is associated variations. Over the past year or so, I have really come to enjoy the “58” in is slight P90...
