Re: The Iceman Commeth!
All done!! I did the tone cut and bass wiring and I dig it. It really does help adjust a pickups sound to where you want it. The vintage Yamaha pickups aren't bad. I am waiting on completely deciding on those until I get a chance to try them through my cabinet when I put Greenbacks in. It is definitely a looker though!!

Re: The Iceman Commeth!
Thanks! It has super neck dive. Sounds common from what I have read about iceman guitars, so I did good.

Re: The Iceman Commeth!
Oh yeah, they're super divey, at least the 90s ones are, since they were made of basswood. Probably not so much for the originals, I'm guessing.
The neck on those 90s ones is so light, though, that it's really the easiest neck dive I've ever played through.

This is an excellent rectangle

Re: The Iceman Commeth!
I think this one dives because the body is a really light piece of alder. I also had a bigger control cavity made in case of active pickups.

Re: The Iceman Commeth!
That's as fine an example of an Iceman as it can be. Outstanding work.
