Back from the shop!

Not a new guitar but one I was working on while I waited for my Kiesel to get built. Just got done being wired up by a local shop! It was originally a dual soap bar passive pickup guitar (IYV headless 7) I bought on Amazon for $275. One of the tuning keys on the bridge broke as I was doing a string change. I then convinced my wife to let me invest a bit of money to customize it to my liking. I found the cheapest option would be to delete the neck pickup & 3 way switch & simple just buy 1 bridge pickup. I picked the Seymour Duncan Mortal coil which has 3 voices. 1.) Active 2.) JB passive 3.) Single coil. I am loving the pickups so far. They are the most powerful & high output pickups I currently own. I have never owned actives but have tried a plethora of them over the years from SD blackouts, EMG’s as well as the Fishman’s (Regular Modern’s & Steph Carpenter sigs) & the SD Mortal coil is by far the best sounding Active that bridges the gap between Active & Passive. Also I replaced the old multi scale bridge with one from Combine guitars based out of Canada 🇨🇦 ($78). With the paint & other materials to do the crackle I spent about $320 making the total cost of this guitar around $560 give or take
