Nice work Bud. Looks fun.  :glasses9:

Definitely agree with this color combo. Beauty.

So I am still planning out this Mooncaster/SE Frankenstein and I want to use a Straw (Pre CBS or Jazzmaster head/neck.  This will have inline tuners. At the same time, I want a hard tail bridge, probably a Gibson style bridge AB1 or something. Has anyone here had issues with an AB1 bridge...

:party07: :party07: :party07: :party07: :party07: Great advice from poster above. Moreover, definitely pay attention to the tuner screw thing. I stripped two screws my first time.

For starters, why do you dislike the rosewood? Too Soft? Dislike the tone? Dislike the look? Maple especially when finished is very jangly and bright in its tone and hard to the touch, whereas Rosewood is warm sounding and soft to the touch. On the Warmoth site you can click on more info about...

The pickups are passive on the SE and I think that the boost on the SE is active. My comment about EMG was not about the pickups, but about their MODs. They have a number of passive and active mods available on their site and I thought some of them sounded pretty similar to the Fender versions...

Congrats on your PhD and Happy Christmas. I built my very first build as a distraction during law school, so I think grad school could be a common starter for builders? Anyone with more Forum experience verify that? I did my first build with Warmoth having done all of the routing, drilling...

Thank you for the welcome replies, etc. I will have to give them a call to see. I am confident they would do it as it is nothing too crazy, just a narrow middle pick up that I can provide exact specs on. :band:

Hello everyone,  :turtle: Just wanted to introduce myself on here. I'm new to this forum and to forum-ing in general. In fact, most of the time in the past when I entered forum communities for random questions on cars, software, etc., my posts got ignored or flamed. So this time, I am doing it...
