Amazing guitar until you change pickups
First of all, the guitar is amazing. All was in perfect order.
BUT... I wanted to change the pickups for a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern and that was when the problems started:
- The screws. They wouldn't come out, when I finally took them out with the help of some pliers, I saw that there were 2 or three holes in the wood per screw, as if the person that installed the pickups was drunk.
- The pickups compartments. They are rounded. The fishman don't fit. I had to carve the wood to the fitting shape. I also instaĺled rings to mask the carving and because I really didn't want to direct mount anymore in the gruyere-like wood.
- If you want to install the Fishman universal battery pack you should know: if you want to put the 2 push pull knobs it won't fit. The solution: 1 push pull knob, 1 mini toggle (make the hole) and more carving in the electronics compartment.
I hope this helps whoever wants to change the pickups or install some Fishman.
Anyway after all this work my guitar rocks and I'm pretty sure it's unique...
