Jericho: Fusion Ignition (2)

The current Jericho Guitars promo offers a pickup upgrade for selected models at no extra costs- DiMarzio/ Seymour Duncan/ Bare Knuckle- take your pick. However, options are limited & I naturally went with my inclinations (pictured above- Duncan's Nazgul).

Let's take a look under the cover, shall we? Over at the volume pot, we see evidence of re-soldering (arrow), implying that there was a default in-house pickup prior to the Nazgul replacement (OK, so they used Alpha pots). Let's focus our attention on the blue line I've inserted there. If you look closely, the portion of wires across that blue line is a little crinkled, suggesting a binding presence (eg: cable tie) which is now missing. Well, you have to remove the binding to accommodate the new (Nazgul's) wires, yes? No replacement was put in place as you can see here.

UNO: Warzone 2 (Part 3)

These are lethal pickups (default in the Warzone 2) not because they out-perform everything else out there (that's a very unschooled perspective) but because they are the right pickups for this guitar. You'd hear great bottom end from the bridge Tesla UNO Custom despite the guitar featuring a Floyd Rose bridge which is traditionally touted to hamper bass responses. The neck counterpart possesses that great zing in clean mode, lots of warmth as well. You'd get to hear that smooth distorted notes of yours during solos. I wish TESLA could just make them available to us as regular production models. 

UNO hiding dirty secrets in its control cavity? Not according to the above pic- spick & span. Alpha pots used so you know UNO means business.
