Uwe is right of course. It is a bit pathetic to hide the cheap (but excellent) Artec under the NOS Gibson cover.
But I want the BaCHbird to be a NR-Tbird all the way. And the looks of Artec really don't match up.
In the meanwhile I've done some work on the BaCHbird again. Yesterday I routed a cavity for the second pickup.
I installed a Gibson seventies style pickup in the neck position.
Plus I rewired the Artec neck pickup to a push/push pot. The Artec can be switched to single coil or humbucking mode.
The single coil gives a bit more clarity to the sound. I do prefer the humbucking sound however. But it's nice to have the choice
