time for a new banner..

interesting..that Electra Paula is one of the nicer old japanese ones I think..

On my old Gordon Smith I originally had a Kahler Trem with locking nuts..I removed it completley, filled the trem cavity and installed a custom made bone nut instead of that old sharp brass nut like you have..much ...

..mOrE cats and guitars..!

In my Telecaster Custom I have one Alnico II neck humbucker..I wired it for middle position as out-of-phase..
sounds verrrry nice..awsome with Fuzzes,..
I will do this in my Jazzmaster, too..recommended

ah, and I have a push-pull Tone poti for HB/SC on the Jazzmaster, too..

body through holes look a bit off-centered, so I drilled them a notch wider, so that the strings don´t touch wood anymore..

ok, hard work first..

neck pickup cavity hacked with wood knives..this mahogany body is really light, smells nice and is really dark colored.
control cavity hacking was most work ( forgot to take fotos).. :lol:

fret levelling and ...

Got a nice older Bach Telecaster Standard, they build many of their guitars with mahogany body, which is interesting for a special Tele Custom build..

the original bridge singlecoil sounds nice, bridge with notched brass saddles..

mutilated a bit more..
closed the pickup holes and installed some nice and cheap Vanson Alnico II humbuckers..
plays nice..the tremolo ringing overtones are there, but a little bit less than with my old VMJM ..

nice one ;)
I had one, too some years ago..I really like the neck..

a pity that most of these ( or silimar Arias) all are missing the trem cover..
the screws at the bridge have very strange specifics, neither US nor Japanese..couldnt find replacement for those..

without the shim, is the neck ...

was the old bridge just sitting on top of the pickguard? looks like the pickguard is cut out in the first pics

the pickguard originally was cut around the bridge, you can see this in my third posts pics..
the pickguard is off and the trem still is on top.

yeah, the pool route makes it somewhat easier..
when I´m instlaling JM PUs I´ll have to hack some more ;)

I had a Mascis Trem lying around..I hacked the trem cavity with wood knives as I dont have a router, but what the heck..
now it ...

well basically just the distance between the end of the pickguard end and the trem plate..( red in foto)



..edit..just finished my cavity hacking..
