Orange Phoenix

Was at Beez's... As you can see, the master at work, employing some rapid soldering skills.

The mods done:
  • Orange Drop capacitor installed
  • Re-wire to 1 volume + 1 tone (the default controls were 2 x volume- I have no use for such schematics...)
  • Coil split switch: I can't resist hearing the Duncan '59 in single coil mode

At the end of the day, it's a wind-down at Ansari's... a sumptuas mutton briyani serving & the above Habib's Cocktail Special. This is one of the many specialty shaken iced drinks available for your rehydration. The alchemy here is one of distinction; you can make out what's in the mix: rose syrup (I was duly informed it's not the off-the-shelf variety, a mystical derivative, unique to Ansari), mint, apple, soda but it's one inseparable mix. Unity in diversity- that's how it is.
