Very satisfied with this one; I guess my sound (Champ) will certainly make progress with a P90.
Two things:
does the P90 fit in the Strat. casing (I don't wanna destroy the guitar)?
For now there's ...

Thank you, Jack!
This is the diagram I already found on the forum but, just to experiment with different sounds, is this the only way to wire my Champ?

Thank you, Allen.
I realy didn't know one has to press the bar for a good sound, that's to say, I always thought that, laying the tonebar over the 6 strings without pressing, there should be a clear ...

Hi everyone,

Thank you Jack!
I learned a lot from the forum.
Just one thing: I'd love to move the Kluson-cover to see inside for two reasons:

Thank you, Jack, for your answer. Don't know yet 'bout the potmeters and tuners, but I think they're original.
