I've drilled out the screw holes in the ears of HBs. It's not hard to do (a cheap Ryobi common household black drill bit did the job just fine), and while that commits those pickups to being wood-mounted for the rest of their lives, I don't look at parts for the sake of reselling. Once that...

Before you do that, is it an actual physical characteristic in the wood? The photo makes it looks like a physical dent with some shadowing in the ridges above & below the dark spot. I ask because if it's an actual physical aspect and you don't like it, trying to sand it out voids any warranty...

Sitting in a restaurant and the "Glory Days" video came on (I know..."video." How quaint). As a child of the '80s, I'd seen this video countless times when the M in MTV stood for "music." I owned "Born in the USA" on cassette. I never paid attention to his playing until now. His right-hand...

Holy Necro-post, Batman.

If anyone has ever made and sold anything, shipping is not where one should be seeking profit. If one does, then one has a flawed business model. While the sticker shock is an eye-opener for us consumers, I understand just barely enough of the business model that WM is probably just as...

One miniswitch is a kill switch and the other controls the LEDs that are obviously going to be installed on the guitar ;)

Who is playing an electric guitar outside in winter on a regular enough basis where this is a concern? :ROFLMAO:

I still see it.

This reminds me of the case modding trend of the '90s - '00s (which I admittedly participated in, because it was fun -- much like building custom guitars!). The more fans you had in the case of your computer, and especially with colorful LEDs, the more bad-ass the mod project. Who cares if it...

We are farther way from 1987 than 1987 was to the Beatles' first album.

Yes I have, and it's fine as-is. No need to overthink it.

Indeed, as the cavity is going to be routed the same, regardless of how many control holes in the order. And there would've been the "placeholder" location for that third opening anyway. But, for the joy of building & learning, forcing yourself to stay within the constraints of two pots would...

Describe your project.

Any reason not to drill that third hole yourself if you're second-guessing ordering only two?

If one plays like Billy Sheehan, that's great, but as he even said around 2:00, most players don't need that.
