But before I am burnt at the stake by the AVH's there's a story.
This is an amazing guitar. It feels great, is balanced and best of all, it has great acoustic tone. The neck pickup is sublime, but it's bridge partner was not.
So, I took a great sounding Shaw, added a ThroBak A5 unoriented magnet and some Stephens Design pole pieces and removed wood! Got a nice nickel ring for it and bam!
The guitar had already been routed for buckers when I got it, and was black rattle can spray. I had it restored andrefin'd...mostly myself. So it was far from an original guitar. Now it is a fantastic guitar! Nil regrets.
For those interested (El Gringo?). The Shaw was originally 8.03K...the new magnet took it up to 8.26k, which is about where I like my bridge buckers.
