Emotional Discombobulation Alert!!!
I know some more gentle souls are distressed by the disharmony here.
This thing is a great tool and has been a reliable source of vintagey Ash Strat sweet goodness.
The poly body however is driving me nuts. It would survive a Russian drone strike without so much as a scratch.
But the 3 different coloured pups goes some way to soothing my inner anarchist.![]()
The middle pickup is original and gives a reference point for the other two.
The neck is a CS Fender '54 from my parts box.
The black bridge is a Kingdom from Nipplewrestler.
Both are way hotter than the originals; Kansas has gone byebye. I don't think the Princeton is the right amp for this so the 61SRT will be next. I think if I'd had this configuration during my gigging days, the Korinacaster may have had less work though that's not really a plus. Anyway, I'm just fiddling cos I can (and I don't own an actual fiddle.)

Yeah you're probably right.

Lesters and Harleys; both lovely to look at, preferably while bolted to the wall of the mancave.
Oh Lawd, now I'm for it!
