A Discovery and a Couple of Pics
I'm trading away my Wildkat so I've just finished removing some of the upgrades I had done to it so I could recover some of the money spent on it.
I removed the GFS mini humbuckers I installed (a shout out to Deaf Eddie, thanks) and reinstalled the Epi P90's (another shout out to DE, thanks again).
The Discovery:
I've always hated wiring semi and fully hollow guitars but today I discovered a little trick that makes hiding the wiring and keeping it in place a little easier. I used some aluminum tape that I have for sheilding to stick little bundles of wires to the underside of the guitar top. Works like a dream. The adhesive is just right for the job and the aluminum is very malleable for shaping around the wires.
The Pictures:
When I installed the mini humbuckers I used the stock P90 covers as the bezels for them. I used my Dremel tool to cut open the top of the cover and then drilled a couple of mounting holes for the mini.
So I just did the reverse when I was removing the mini humbuckers. I've mounted the Epi P90's in the stock covers with the top removed. I removed the pole screws and sprayed a couple of coats of Krylon satin black to make them look a little spiffier. I reattached the pickups inside the covers with epoxy. I took a couple of pics cause I think it looks kinda cool and retro.
