Excellent choicesNippleWrestler wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 2:25 pm I installed some 1978 Maxon U1000 pickups in my Greco today (same pickup as Ibanez Super 70), and also changed the wiring to something a bit more interesting.
Instead of the usual vol and tone for each pup like the classic LP setup, I've wired it so now it's:
Volume for neck
Volume for bridge
Master treble cut (bridge tone)
Master bass cut (neck tone)
Surprisingly useful.

Nice body shape too! Very 7-string metal! Are the dyes imported powder or liquid?

Re: What's on your work bench?
Finally got around to fitting proper frets on the maton:)
Suspect a new nut will be required.

Re: What's on your work bench?
Not on mine. This needs a full overhaul to bring it back to its former glory (if there ever was any). It is a No. 4.
BG's work bench has first right of refusal. Shipping to BG on me.
If it goes to anyone else then shipping costs are yours.

Re: What's on your work bench?
Be gone white shiny plastic dots. Made new dots with Fimo clay - Sand. Drilled the mould into 5 mm steel. Turned out mostly good, but I don't recommend using fimo - as you sand everything flat the "clay" holds onto fragments and colours the dot further. Or maybe let the Fimo harden even more (post oven baking), to get really hard. Maybe a month or two.
Still looks a mile better than the cheap looking dots prior.
