As a lover of the old stud/wrap around tails, that's what I would suggest as a 2nd to the more involved strings thru the body mod.

Good luck!

This is the one I was thinking of. It's a Schaller ...

I prefer the last year's version where the bridge cover is not part of the pots mount. Still gotta remove the cover for string changes, though.

Here's a couple of shots of the GFS pickup I install ...

Well, that was quick.

They're baaack.

Easily the best line of the day! Laughing

Bob, just keep in mind that you're comparing two different guitars. Will the lipstick have the same overtones in the industrial? Would be an interesing test but at least we know that the lipstick ...

How about newspaper? I'm about to begin a project using a counter top material that is made from paper and resin scrunched together at about a billion PSI (or so).

I think you have honed in on the problem. I've never seen the cover off an E-66, but it might be a good guess that you have moved the strings off the poles.

Maybe a rail is in order. Smile

I just ordered one from b0b.

Very cool Bob, glad it worked out for you. So in both cases you liked the GFS better than what came with the guitar. Doesn't say much for the OEM pup's that came with the guitars that an inexpensive r ...

But certainly not ambiguous. On second thought, maybe the title is ambiguous. I meant to say the title is not as snappy as "Lipstick on my Rondo". The Mean 90 is quite snappy, thank you. ...

I've avoided the "fingerless gloves" that aren't really fingerless. Most cover up to and beyond the first finger joint and that gets in the way for me.

How do you think RED LIPSTICK would look on the Light Blue RONDO

I think see will need a Blond wig also

I can buy a black pickup and paint it RED RIGHT ????

Looks good. Are the studs grooved so that you can raise/lower the bridge? I would need a bit of elevation to get over the Lipstick PU.

OK, I just replaced the 500K pots with 250K Alphas. The tone is under better control in the high range (lows sound clearer too, but that might be my imagination).

I got caught with lipstick on my Rondo and let's just say I had lots of splainin' to do.

I was wondering how long that would take... Smile

Dave, you can find the GFS pickups here http://store.guitarfetish.com/pickups.html
They also sell pots and caps, but I don't think they have mini's.

Bob,

if the high end is too extreme, a 250k pot will indeed help a bit - but you could also try experimenting with "load capacitors" (I hope that's what they are called in English...) - t ...
