Alternative Cat

Beez called me midweek to say the (Sprague) Orange Drop caps are back in stock. So out came my Ibanez RGR321EX for a pre-installation inspection- I usually check the pots' working condition before bringing it over to Beez's. But I couldn't even turn either knobs after plugging the guitar in. Culprits: Deteriorated pots as seen above...

Master Beez did a quick, full-rewiring of the electronics. These fresh components were installed:
  1. Orange Drop cap
  2. 3-way switch
  3. Output jack
  4. Volume + Tone pots
I also had Beez install a push-pull switch for...

... the new pair of Seymour Duncan pickups in my RGR321:
  1. Bridge: Alternative 8
  2. Neck: Phat Cat
As this guitar sports a single-hum pickup combo as such, the push-pull switch in only functional for the bridge pickup.

My 'fresh' RGR321... just stopped playing it, by the way.
