I have a funky little single coil I disassembled and considered mounting it under the plate with just 3 of the adjustable pole pieces exposed thru the face of the plate and everything else hidden beneath. Might have to install a single steel rail tapped with the proper spacing for the pole pieces, but I think it would be doable.
Yeah, that was my first intent, to really roach out the neck and hardware, but nothing I had on hand looked quite right. The neck was originally intended for a commissioned piece, but I got into a bad spot at the heal while doing the grain raise. Kept revealing more and more cracks, So I opened them up and repaired them with JB Weld for wood. I decided to make another neck for the customer, and build this one for myself.
Wow. That box and that old plate are a perfect match. Inspired. I first looked at this and thought it would be better if the neck,etc. was beat up to match. Nope. Just right just as it is. Great look.
Only thing I might wish for - and that depends on how it sounds plugged in as it now is- would be a mag pup between the 1 and the P.

Inspired idea.

It's a keeper.
