I sanded the finish off of the neck, so it's a natural birdseye maple neck now. I also put a brass nut on it, and it's loaded with artist SRV scatter-wound pickups in the center and neck. Also put the noiseless springs on it, and I put a Wilkinson trem on it as well. I run the stock bridge pickup because it's super hot and sounds great. That guitar is the reason I sold my ESP MII custom special - it tonally does everything the ESP did but does it better. The alder body/maple top is a killer combination that I've found is damn hard to beat![]()

Way better than stock. It's not even a contest. It was the first thing I did to the guitar, so I cannot make an honest comparison anymore. Highly highly recommended. It's stood up for over 6 years so far and not a single problem![]()

I'm doing physical therapy to my shoulder so Im off for a few months, Ive been dragging out guitars and making them battle ready, I guess the strat will be 3rd in line. Im working on an old charvel model 4 neck-thru that I'm totally redoing all the electronics in and getting rid of all that on board crap and fitting for a Floyd. its gonna be killer.
Ill get a Wilkinson coming this way. Who do you think would have a decent price on one??

I'm still working on mine, but it's pretty much been complete for a few years now. It has been entirely worth it!!

Always wanted one of the old Knucklehead 100s with 3 channels, or the rack version. Not sure how yours stacks up against mine (pretty sure they redesigned the preamp several times since mine was made), but I know what you mean. Not the easiest to dial in. Kinda picky about guitars and cabs, too. But when it's happy, it sounds pretty damn nice.
