As if this were my last ever buy...
Now that's the spirit :D

The older I get the more I hate dishonesty. I donīt like to lie to people, especially to myself. =)
I hope you might find the link to dba usefull some day, Kiichi.
I am sure I will!
I am just having a closer look at the electronics and must admit, it is a lot better than what my first look implied. I really came into that with prejudice (and big lack of sleep I guess). I am even thinking I might not replace anything...well except for a little thing Juansolo is cooking up for me, so one vol pot will probably go. The pots are mini pots, but seem decent enough. Feel good turning and the vol pots measured in at 537k, so I do not see much reason to tear em out after all. The caps on the tonepots do not look like super cheap ceramic as well, but if I get some better ones in again these might change, together with change to 50s wiring. Might at one point also add a coilsplit pot, but nothing that has to happen right now I feel.
I would like to get a more traditional and compact varitone, but I do not really know how best to go about that. Well, this one might be circuit board, but the caps do look ok and it sounds good to me, so hey.
The wires seem good too, it is almost exclusivly thick braided wire in a plastic sleeve. Pretty sturdy actually.
Maybe I am unaware of something (if so, tell me!), but it looks decent enought for me, so I might just throw in much better pickups for now.
