Next Project

I'm definitely going to leave the COBCaster alone and move on to another project.  At this point, I've got a lot of parts lying around:
  • Squier body (basswood, not bad)
  • Squier neck (ugh)
  • Mighty Mite neck (not bad)
  • Pickups
    • Fender American Std bridge pickup
    • Lace Sensor Gold pickup
    • Set of GFS vintage something or other strat pickups
    • Fender tele pickups from '92 MIM
  • Bridges
    • Squier 6 hole trem
    • GFS 6 hole trem
    • Tele MIM bridge
  • Miscellaneous electronic stuff: caps, pots (including a nice push/pull), switches
I could easily throw together something without buying anything, but where's the fun in that? So I ordered a set of Seymour Duncan P-90's (SP90-2).  I got a good deal on ebay, $135 including shipping for a new set.  Now I need a pickguard, or I suppose I could try to cut out the squier pickguard with my dremel.   I also need some tuners for the Mighty Mite neck, and I'll probably go with the same Sperzels I used on the COBcaster.  

The parts I'll need to buy  are
  • Tuners (likely to be black Sperzels)
  • Pickups (on order)
  • 500K pots, 0.047 cap (may have this)
  • Switch (leaning towards using a Gibson style, rather than Fender style blade)
  • Pickguard, unless I just cut down one I have to fit the P90's (if I do that, I have to use a blade)
  • Bridge, unless I use the GFS I have. It's tempting to get boogie rail.
