You got a real good deal there. I too am saving for my next purchase, however just about the time I have almost all the money for it, life throws me a curve and have to spend it on something else.

Have fun with your guitar. Looks great.

Good one!

this thing plays and sounds pretty good.
the CS 69's from my understanding are a little more
tame than the stock pups for this fiddle.
i want to remove the bridge pup and drop in a seymour duncan JB jr.
good idea or bad guys?

I got a JBjr in the bridge on my roadhouse and I like it a lot. I think you will too. It screams.I also have Ernie Ball 9-42 on mine and I like them. I like 10's on a LP.

oh cool. does the JB jr have any bluesy tone to them at all?
do you use a OD pedal or a all out distortion pedal?

i like 9's on pretty much everything except atele. i like 11's on them if i can get away with it. i do have 9's on one of the older teles.
im sticking with 9's on that one.

Not really, I go to my neck pickup for that. I have Fralin split blades in the neck and middle. I play in my apartment so I can't get too crazy loud, I have a Marshall MG15FX and I like it a LOT. It has effects so I just use them. It gets great Distortion tones has a delay, Phaser Chorus and Flanger. I mainly use the Phaser or Delay, and Get it dirty. Keeps me entertained playing to Jamtracks after work.

i have a project guitar im thinging of putting fralins in. a local builder
has suggested them. whats your thoughts on them? bluesy?
do they clean up easy with a roll of the volume knob?

I got a set of the split blade humbuckers but the do sound like single coils. so much that I took the bridge out and put the Duncan in about three times before I made up my mind to leave the Duncan in. I just don't use the bridge as much with the single coil. ( single coil sound) I like them' they clean up, but through my Marshall they can only get so clean. They sound great through a Fender amp. Check out www.fralinpickups.com He' got videos and you can call him on the phone with any questions. They are worth the cash.

they say the JB jr isnt exactly a single coil but its not has harsh as a humbucker.
would you say thats true?
i wonder what the jr sounds like split?

I'm running it as a humbucker full on. No split. I dont like the single in the bridge anyway. It definately sounds like a humbucker, It is Hot and can get Heavy, Nice pinch harmonics, and sustain. Way past my expectations when I first bought it and I used to have an Epi LP with the JB full size in it. The jr sounds just as good as the full size.

good deal thats what im looking for.
i think im gonna like it when i finally get one.
that way i can play my metalish rock n roll
as well as get some bluesy tones in the neck.
