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:
- Orange Drop cap
- 3-way switch
- Output jack
- Volume + Tone pots
I also had Beez install a push-pull switch for...
... the new pair of Seymour Duncan pickups in my RGR321:
- Bridge: Alternative 8
- 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.
