Thanks, Daniel. I like the relic look and sometimes they look better without visible electrification.
This is an interesting build. The box says relic and the neck could be, but the saddle and volume control say otherwise. But the combination is super nice.
Uncle John, I think it worked pretty well. I didn't have the amp cranked too high, but the volume knob was turned all the way up. The only thing different that I noticed was a "drop off point" after turning the knob down a little. Instead of a nice linear reduction in volume, it went from loud to barely any output.

That looks great. How do you like the glued up mag pup? Do you have to turn the gain up high? It could be something for me to try. Guide me?
