At some occasions I have been wishing my Johnson JM-998 D had a pickup installed.
then I saw the Hot Plate mod, which looked neat & tidy. no cables hanging off it, when not in use and no modification to the instrument.

the only downside is the $$$
C'mon, $395 is a lot of money and there's not much to it - or is there?
well I don't have a Lollar pup, but
1 SD Hot for Tele neck pickup and
a Dremel
2 dome knobs
1 jack
only need 2 pots (250k ?) and a capacitor for the tone roll off.
I've measured the depth from plate to cone and the SD pup would still fit if it was flush with the coverplate just so.
has anyone done this? how will it sound?
thoughts?
