I got a Catalinbread Merkin fuzz a few days ago. Really enjoying it!

I've not installed them yet; I've been too busy lately.

I had Lace Sensor pickups on the Custom Shop 1957 Fender Stratocaster I got new in 1990/91.They sounded pretty ok but I put Antiquities in it early on and though neck feels stiffer than it should that guitar has developed a sound as good as an old one.
I think those pickups are gonna settle in and sound really nice.

4 years ago and you still haven't tried it yet? You're a patient man, my friend. Did you stumble upon a sale and picked it up knowing that one day it would come in handy?

Don't include strings or picks.
Rickenbacker 330-12string.

What it does is amazing and the workmanship once again is nothing but spectacular. Folks either love or hate Ricks

I have 2 other Ricky's a 330-6 and a 620-6

Mine's a Godin LGXT with synth access and a split-coil, 5-way pickup selection capability.

No..I bought it new.
I am incredibly lazy in a sense.Im kind of afraid to mess with the thing.
It strikes me as complicated.
I had a Studer Revox PR99 MKII which I bought in the late 80's it just there looking good & I never used it.
A studio in Ireland bought it off me and were glad to find an unused one.
Anything more complicated than a one pick up les paul Jr begins to try my ..: (
brain ?
