So an update on the ripper.
It's been in for repairs,
1. New nut
2. Chip in fret board fill with ebony dust concoction
3. Bridge pickup rewound with vintage spec'd wire
4. New pick guard
5. Replaced the 4 way rotary with a 3 way selector ala Les Paul, neck/both/bridge
The 4 way was not salvageable so the 3 way will be temporary.
So in the mean time I'm on the hunt for a 4 way rotary. Anybody know were i can source a decent replacement and a gig bag that fits would be good too.
cheers
