My newly modded mini-humbuckers for my Epi Firebird came in the mail this morning but my pickup guru had no luck in finding or mocking up a pair of bezels to mount them in,so now I'm left with great pups and no way of mounting them.I've looked on just about every guitar accessory site I could find an nobody makes such a thing.The problem is that Epiphone made all of its Firebirds with full size humbuckers except for a '63 Firebird VII reissue that they made around 2003 or 2006 I believe,so even getting a proper bezel from them isn't possible.I'll have to keep looking around locally and see if any of the local places that deal in plastics could make something up.

In the meantime I got an email yesterday from Superior Violins advertising 30% off their violins.I got to thinking that with the thin nylon or gut strings and small neck, a violin would probably be a good thing to take up learning as a form of therapy for my hands. My fingers wouldn't have to press so hard to make the notes and I wouldn't have to stretch them so far between notes.Anyway I ordered one that was regularly $100 for only $70 and that's including case bow and rosin.I know that I won't be getting an instrument on par with an Amati or Stradivarius but it should be at least functional enough to get a decent few songs out of it,anyway I'm intending to use it more of a therapy tool but then again if I do manage to get some passable songs out of it,that'll be a bonus.
