Thanks, guys! This was the starting point, an under $100 Glarry. At thispoint everything has been modded or replaced from the parts bin except the body and strap buttons. I'tried a dual rail strat pickup but it wasn't doing the job. The DiMarzio does sound great, series or parallel.
Exposer, first customer bass post Pandemic. African "Mahogany'. Going to be SilverBurst.
And this Stu Hamm, sent yesterday to its new owner. This was Hamm's Wasburn serial #001. I added a separate passive circuit Duncan soapbar and pots to the sound hole.
Mods are completely reversible. Jack is on a plate where the battery box was. Battery moved to the control cavity.
