And man, that was hard work! He was very specific.
I like the look of that DuB (Dutch Bird) too, but there is something that reminds me of ESP about it. Not that I mean that as an insult, ESPs are fine in my book and even where they emulate classic models of other brands, they have their own "cut".

That barrel jack is a bit disappointing!
Basvarken:
Why?

It isn't period correct for the type for one thing, and I personally don't like working on them. They seem more sensitive to heat than a conventional jack, and you have to install them from outside the instrument, then solder them in, then tighten up the mounting nut in a cramped electronics cavity. Once they start to fail they are basically useless as well.
Basvarken:
The elongated upper horn bothers me more in terms of period correctness.
All the installment trouble you describe wouldn't be an issue for me since it is already installed... ???
