The Freeway is great, but won’t get everything on the Charvel. One of the following two options would be a good starting point:

The alternative is threaded inserts or if you want to go really crazy something like the FU-Tone PMS. I prefer the foam on the body side. For single coils, I just used pickguard screws and foam.

That top is so gorgeous.

The only time I’ve wired one up was for G&L MFD single coils and I didn’t find the effect useful. I sourced mine from G&L as well. Need to try it on some humbuckers some day, and I think it’d be interesting to A/B with a Wilde Q Filter

Thank you!!! Offer made. I do love a good Firebird pickup, I have a killer set of Kleins in mine. I’ll give those a listen!

That’s where I learned about em!!

Hmmm… Lollar Low Wind Imperials, Fralin Big Singles? Maybe some EBMM Valentine style pickups? Im thinking of this as a Tele that studied abroad in Sweden and came back speaking fluent neoclassical and with a penchant for Scandinavian cabinetry. Minimalist in design, maximum function. I don’t...

There’s a reason I paid the W for a clearcoat on this build… I actually want to play it some day 😎👉👉 I thought you were admonishing me for my specs given the half dozen times I’ve alluded to shredding as self-indulgent weedlyweedly nonsense. To either point I say: it’s my midlife crisis and...

Why’s that Spud?
