Interesting. Might be nice to cut some cloud shapes out of paper and do a light stencilling effect to make it look a bit more intentional.
Overall colour impression is good though. And the shape is growing on me.....

me likey!
:D
Yeah, I am pretty excited now.
I realised without a multimeter, I am not sure which pickup is the bridge one and which the neck. Oops. One has black and white wires, and the other has black and red. So they are different. Maybe GFS uses a standard wire colour and I’ll be able to google it, hah.
edit: worst part is, the boxes were marked... why didn't I take note when I took em out? haha...
That’s looking awesome!! Are they GFS gold foils? I was looking at them just the other day.

P90. GFS has all kinds of variations, but these are the soapbar ones.
I like(d) that original blue!
It’s basically done!
I am not 100% sold on the pickups, we’ll see how it performs at practice tomorrow night. They are a lot brighter than the Tomerider P90s in the JZ-1... sounds closer to my VM Jaguar, but maybe even clearer?
Tomorrow night at full volume will be the decider. If it’s a 👎, then I’ll order some GFS P90s. The kwikplug harness will make it easy to try different pickups.

I had a 1965 Harmony guitar with there real gold foils on. Clean, but more powerful that I thought they were going to be for such small windings. Like a Strat, the neck pickup sounded best. The bridge one was very near the bridge and sounded very thin and plinky as a result.
It may be worth trying to adjust the pickups a bit. Try raising the height on the pole pieces and lowering the overall pickup height and you will get a different sound. Whether it sounds any better is up to you to decide, but it should sound that bit different.
