Blackout continues

[Blackout Jazz]

Painted poles black, new Gotoh black bridge and Rotosound Nexus strings. Oh, and cheesy marker decals that look better than I thought they would. I never got the no hole pickup covers to paint right. :/ Still need black vol knobs for the stack pots.

That looks cool. How do you like those strings?

I like em! So does the kid. The RD66s are harsh, which is why Geddy uses them. The black on the Nexus mellows it some, in a great way. Somebody else here went to the Nexus, I can't recall who. He liked them, too. They especially sound different with the tone controls rolled all the way off.

Black tuners on six string electrics always look weird to me but it works on this, for sure!

Welp, I kept searching and searching for pickup covers because the painted poles just looks...janky. Found some from Musiclily, which is chicom, but what to do?
Also found a set of black stack pot knobs, and a Pure Tone "black nickel" jack. Will post a pic later with the covers and knobs, the jack is seemingly lost in USPS. Sitting in Kansas City for 3 days? Nah, it ain't coming.
