Thanks. So I comment it myself.
I have to tell you that 20 minutes after this pic was shot I had an accident on stage.
I put out my Sumo suit, and did "normal" stage acting. ...then I broke my knee, falling down, terrible aching... I was nearly coma... lying on the stage...
a girl gave me a pill for the pain and the people from the bar brought me some water. After 6 minutes I was able to play again. I played this gig to the end while sitting on the stage. The pain came back, my fingers started to tremble... I was nearly to blackout again... People really appreciated it. Directly after the gig I was brought to hospital... ahhhhh, painful night... horrible ride from Cologne back to Berlin the next day... 6-7 hours on the motorway, took pills aginst the pain... So this is Rock´n Roll. This is Surf!
better break something on stage while playing then while shopping
I'm in pain just from reading this. Hope you're alright now again.

This is great! But with all the stuff you've added, why did you subtract a switch??
Seriously so cool though. Did you do the refin job yourself? And can we hear what this sounds like?
I had to use 4pdt switches for the series parallel mod which took quite some space in the cavity. I could have added another spdt (for a strangle switch) but the distances betwwen the sitches would have been irregular and that thought really throwed me off. In hindsight I just should have used the standard switches and used the strangle as a "series" switch. All the three pickup combinations with serial and parallel aren't that much different from either all serial or all parallel. Really wasn't worth the effort, but now I know better
I'm sorry, I haven't got a mic or something to record with that has not super poor audio quality, so I won't be able to give sound examples
But the series mod is really recommendable (

Yes, I did the refin myself with some rattlecans. Was my first try on this. The worst part was stripping the finish. I scratched the body pretty deep in two places and didn't fill the scratches properly thinking primer and laquer will do the job good enough (foolish me
). But in the end I was surprised how good it went out, really didn't expect that.
