poolrouting anyone?
stock standard humbucker..
bigger chinese pots, wiring is ok..
bridge is a cheaper cast metal one, but intonating good..
you could easily drill some holes for a new bridge and do a tremolo..
frets are basically ok, I do this on any of my guitars, polishing and rounding the edges a bit..
did a little relicing job on the shiny pickguard and hardware |

yeah, the pool route makes it somewhat easier..
when IŽm instlaling JM PUs IŽll have to hack some more 
I had a Mascis Trem lying around..I hacked the trem cavity with wood knives as I dont have a router, but what the heck..
now it works..
the JM pickup covers came, too, I think IŽll spray them black.. |

the pickguard originally was cut around the bridge, you can see this in my third posts pics..
the pickguard is off and the trem still is on top. |

mutilated a bit more..
closed the pickup holes and installed some nice and cheap Vanson Alnico II humbuckers..
plays nice..the tremolo ringing overtones are there, but a little bit less than with my old VMJM ..
