Got my rewound NR pickup back from Steve at Thunderbucker (thanks, Steve!) a couple days ago so later this morning the pup and correct bridge studs are heading over to the shop so my guy can continue work on the NR. Once he gets it up and running with the electronics sorted out, etc, it will be taken apart and sent to RS Guitarworks.
One of the first things I'm going to ask when it gets there is if the serial number shows up when they strip off the rest of the paint from the back of the headstock. Fingers crossed it's there somewhere, even if it's light.
