    Thanks!  This one sounds great with the P90's, i'll record a video of it soon

    the box was kind of expensive but completely worth it

    I had the teisco tailpiece around, found an old brass bridge its heavy made in germany, P90 pickups in humbucker shape

    I might hunt down some more worn shells for the volume/tone knobs
