I just converted them to 4-wire for splitting etc, and swapped the magnets to Alnico II and V, bridge and neck respectively... but haven't finished the guitar they're going into yet.Originally Posted by kanelangmaid

@Wokka, my nephew's long awaited SG-1F... so I'm building a distortion pedal for him at this very moment to ease the pain of the wait.
Scott.
nice one Weirdy, haven't seen any pics of the SG-1F, bet it's a winner. Can't wait to hear the modified pups with Alnico magnets

@Wokka, will have to drop in sometime - about 50min away from me. If you are in the swan valley anytime feel free to drop in.
@Weirdy, sounds close to what I am trying to achieve without the split. Was thinking an alnico 2 in the neck and alnico 4 for the bridge. Funny you should mention distortion pedals, I made a TS808 clone with a keeley boost mod. I must get around to pulling it apart for a jazzy paint job at some point.
no worries Kane, send me a message if you want to call by sometime or I'll let you know if I'm in Swan Valley.

Reader poll,
upgraded jack plate: nickel, or cream?
Hey Kane,
presuming rest of the hardware will be the supplied chrome, will you be using the cream pup surrounds ?
This may influence my advice !
I haven't seen too many cream jack plates, can you please post an example what you are proposing?

Wokks,
a lot of the old school LP's had cream jack plates. Now my LP will have all gotoh hardware - nickel, with all parts cream pickup surrounds and probably upgraded pickguard etc. Pic attached below, so imagine my desert burst with same colour hardware.
