Another Tallboy Testimonial

Put a vintage tallboy in the neck spot.
Replacing a HD Mini Strat for Tele neck.
Pickguard mounted.

I think this is the one.
Great Stratish sound without too much Strat spank.
Big string attack is not muddy...my goal.
Paired with a Fralin Blues Special bridge pup.
I would highly recommend it.

Got it quick. They must've had one on hand.
It was marked "R" so I figured RWRP and its sounds like I was right.

Pretty too. Got the Tortoise shell "fancytop" and it's in a tortoise guard. Almost disappears...like I've got an Esquire.

Only issue was:
pup came with both types of screws: for body or guard mounting.
Guard screws are 6-32 which is usual, I think. Holes in lower bobbin were too big to be threaded :evil:
why? That's just stupid.
Had to use nuts on the screws. But that means the pup height can't be adjusted by turning the screws.

Oh well, I got it where I wanted it and it sounds great.

Pics to follow for the gallery
