bkp for 335

[gordiji]

when i wanted to replace my neck pup in a LP, with a stormy II, having already installed a VH 2(AV)   in the bridge
Tim said they would work well together. guess what?.......they do!

You're a very brave man Phil ........glad you got it all sorted .

Still it saved me having to swear at a 335 (although I bet you now know why some people are happier to pay for someone else to do it......
Post a piccy of the axe if you have one.....

probably could have done with a clean, but there it is.

i can definately see why people pay people like yourself to do a job like this, and i was gonna give up at one stage and bring it down to you to sort out. but after a few beers at a fireworks party, i came home with a mysterious sense of focus and got stuck in.
so there you have it folks  REAL ALE + FIREWORKS = new pickups in 335.

I'm thinking in buy a Epiphone 335 body and make a new neck, but I've told to the luthiers I'm friend: "good luck with the wiring, how much shall I pay???"

[Philly Q]

That wiring process looks terrifying.  I just know I'd have a massive tantrum and trash the guitar.  :(

[bandmaster188]

yeh it is a bit scary especially when you've dropped all the pots and switch inside the guitar. its shite or bust at that point!

not sure fernando. you might find some epiphone 335 bodys on ebay which should give you an idea of how much.

The best thing about the Gibson BB King Lucille is the access plate

[Philly Q]

I suppose they have to do that because there aren't any f-holes!  :)

My Washburn HB-50 has a back panel too.  But it's a hollowed out mahogany body, rather than a proper semi like a 335.

I meaned that I shot the work to the luthier before asking how much for the wiring...
I'm already tracking the bodies on eBay :)

sorry fernando.
i reckon you would be looking at between £70 and £100. that is just a guess though.
