Hagstrom in the neck position, mickey mouse pickup in the bridge position. STUNNING array of vintage guitar voices available now from a screaming Tele sound to a Smokey blues or deep jazz. Man what a combo. I had to widen the hole just a little, the plastic ring would likely still cover it, barely. I'll make another one to go with the Hagstrom. The maple was a little de-laminated on the underside. That guitar might have been in a flood or something, but it's got a whole new life now, and I can tell already, it's going to open new horizons for me. Steffan :D

I'm loving it. Looks a little strange, rusted chrome on top, aged ivory on bottom, but remember this was a wreckk when I got it. Broken headstock loose bindings rust everywhere delamimating wood etc. Oh snd someone had vanished it with a roller. :shock:. Now it looks decent, plays well snd sounds incredible, so what if it's a little mismatched. One might say "you've come a long way baby"... Now hear her sing! :D Steffan

Fender supwer Champ XD small tube/transistor amp 15 watts. some effects, modelling. Nice, don't need a stack of amps, thats for sure. :wink: Here is a pic of the work still in progress, I am sanding down and filling in some cracks on the top, so that's what is showing...not 'road worn'... :roll: Sure is a nice little player....Steffan
