    A while back I had my eye on doing one of these kits and thought these would be an economical choice to get somewhere closer to the true Ric sound. Tonerider Rebel 90's are another choice but a little bit dearer.

    Ive got the tonerider reble90s going in the spalted es so got thet covered on that build. Not too keen on routing out the pickup cavity since its finished and the mini humbucker options are $50 a set or $300 a set, not much in the middle. Ive got some timber left from the pick guard wich i could use for the flat work aand make more of a jazzmaster style pickup and attach it to the mini mounting plate and cut out the top of the covers of the kit pickups, I'd need to buy the 42 awg wire and the 12 magnetic bobbins. For under $ 60 its worth a try plus would look pretty cool and i made it. my only query is getting the right quality magnets and wire
