I got this in the mail today.
 
The JB001 only strat style bridge pickup in the world to wear a tux.  Thank you Michael! 
 
Spacey guitars strike again.  Ain't she a beauty?
 

It looks great, and I expect it sounds great.  Looking forward to confirmation on the sound.  

Congrats.  

I can't view it at work.....(big red X)...but, Congrats on your custom build!!!

When are you going post a shredding clip of this fancy doodad??

Thank you Jon and you are very welcome.

( by the way...the tux is a rental!)

No shred but plenty dread.
 
This axe is being customised as a roots reggae machine, so it has to have enough bite to curl your teeth on the 'skanking' chords, sound nice on those characteristic muted bass runs, and also produce some convincing sounding simplistic melody lines all from a novice operator.
 
Not putting Spacey under any pressure but he sure understands the brief and if anyone is going to deliver for me it is him.

Nice, congrats to both look forward to the product of both your efforts.

I was actually quite daunted by undertaking the mod and was going to put it off 'til the weekend.
 
Then I thought hang it, took the plunge, ten minutes later, 5 of which was trying to locate my soldering iron, and viola job done.
 
Now to tune up and make some noise.

I have an umbrella and a bottle of aspirin...my shades...a ticket to
Siberia !....a bottle of 1800....what else?...and taking deep breaths...
I know I'm missing something...well I'm very glad I'm not waiting for more
days...shipping time was tuff enough.

Well I'm thinking whilst me head is on the chopping block...
it may be cool to tell about what I did and why just so when
the verdict comes in if I was even in the ball park....

First, I used all the Mojo I could lol....grey flatwork on bottom- never heard of that until
a few days before I was to order the materials. 7,360 wraps- suppose to be a great
number for "bell" like Strat.
I used Alnico 5 for the bridge thinking it would give a boost that Jon wanted.
I nice med. tension on the wind (fingers).
Results should be...a little hot, not much- nice tight and clear lows, punchy med and clear highs.
Now that's....if it works and pup is about 3/16ths - 1/8 from strings.

I'm hearing that count-down from Jeopardy....
