 I'll be at Lull's tomorrow picking up a new set of chrome pups for the White '89...........Thus all my modern 'Birds will not have stock Gibson pickups anymore.
Also the Black '77 is stripped of parts, I'll take a shot of it's naked carcass before it goes to Marty Bell  :o

Well, I was close!!! Ironically, I just bought the remaster of IM's The Number of the Yeast or whatever it is called in a Norwegian food supermarket from the bargain bin, it must be nearly thirty years since I last heard the album. Now all I need to do is talk Edith into letting me listen to it in our Volvo! I know that by song no 2 she will be giving me one of those "why are you doing this to me?"-looks ...

I know EXACTLY what you mean, even if ms exiledarchangel is kinda get used to my "special" musical preferences.

The clovers tuners are a fun addition, as when they are positioned in - line they will not pass each other.

Do you know it for sure?
Did you actually try to put hipshot ultralite clovers instead of regular grovers?
Thanks!

 I've put them on two of my modern 'Birds - Wit the stock holes, if they are in line with each other they will touch, barely. It hasn't been a problem.


And on Mr Sixx.
