Day 617, Contemporary finish
Continuing the intermittent guitar based theme.
Fettled and reassembled, here's the Fender Contemporary Telecaster with the stock pickups replaced. The stock pickups were a bit long in the tooth, had become microphonic, and weren't at their best.
The new pickups are a pair of Seymour Duncan SH8 Invader humbuckers "ultra high output built for aggressive playing styles", well that's me.
I configured them in the same way as the humbuckers that were removed - that was in a standard humbucker installation with a coil-tap to isolate the North pickup on whichever of the two humbuckers is selected.
The controls are black, on a black background, and the only oversight is the lack of a black LED that lights up black every time a control is operated.*
This machine is loud**, but unfortunately doesn't kill fascists.***
* I don't need to explain.
** Not as loud as Disaster Area.
*** And that's probably for the best.
