NGD. I bought the wrong guitar again.

Since everything the last year has gone to crazy stupid prices since everything is out of stock, instead of sending it back, sell it on reverb. End up essentially getting both pickups for free.

I don't really want to price gouge anyone.



but....

So the replacement for the bridge pickup that they sent a neck pickup in place of also turned out to be.....another neck pickup. I'm sending it back and just ordering one from CMI. FUCK.

Amazon seems to list both as Bridge in title, but "(992297002)" is the part number for the Neck PU.

• Bridge, 099-2297-001
  
• Neck, 099-2297-002???

It showed up two days early so I might get started on this today. I need to shoot some "before" video this morning and then see how much of the rebuild I can do this afternoon. Hopefully have a video ready by the end of the week!

Hm. I'm wondering if I should put the original pots back in. This is kinda shrill.

maybe change the caps? a little darker value??
(or add them if the pots don't have any now)

I put new caps in that were the same value, but higher quality. I'm going to play with it a bit like this.

Are the new pots 1meg? I went with 500k on my Novak wide ranges after the 1meg pots were too shrill

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

They are. Maybe I'll put the old ones back in.

Yeah that should help!

So with the 500k pots it is much better but I still hate the bridge pickup.
