There aren't many guitars that drive me to the edge of madness... but this was definitely one - and you'll no doubt be able to spot my frustration levels rising at various points :-) Mark gave me this for free in a tired condition. I decided to re-fret the neck mainly because I liked it's feel and figured I could use it somewhere else if this guitar didn't work out.
Then I got stuck into trying to work out why the guitar wasn't playing properly - one of the pickups wasn't working. For some reason I couldn't work out what the problem was...until I tracked it down to what seemed to be a faulty switch. I then changed the switch and by a fluke, the one I used as the replacement was also faulty in the SAME way. This tied my head in knots for a while...
Eventually when I worked it out I got it playing and finished the set up. I liked how the newly-fretted neck felt to play but 5 minutes playing it a band rehearsal a couple of days later convinced me the pickups were horrible and not worth leaving in place. As it happened, a pair of Chinese-made 'Yibuy' humbuckers came my way at this point and yesterday I fitted them. First impression was that they sounded OK.... so will have to road test them some more to see if they're worth their full £14 retail price... :-)
