yeah it has wax.. i thought it was wierd too.. its a Bullet... i dont get it, it cant be that old, the old ones werent lam. bodies were they?? ( i know i know.. its plywood... but for a cheap frankenstrat project...)

Exactly, i see the pickup leads going through a silverish plate on the bottom of the pickup.. i CAREFULLY removed one of the plates, and i saw.. what looked like the bobbin and wire.. but it was hard to tell through the wax.. which brings me to a question, does squire pot their pickups?? if not, these have been replaced...

If he is going to rewind the pickups, he might as well replace the ceramic bar magnets with alnico rod magnets. But this would require new flatwork. New flatwork, new magnets, new wind...he's just made a new set of pickups! ;-) ← you know whats funny? i actually got around to removing the pickups from the guitar, and they dont have a bar magnet on the bottom of the pickup, only a cover.. does this mean they're alnico?

thats what i thought.. thanks.

Ok, my neighbor gave me his old squire.. and i want to go frankenstrat on it.. how could i "hot rod" the cheap squire pickups? (i'm looking for something in the $20-30 range) is it even worth doing? should i just save up and get some new ones?

sorry.. my mistake, i didn't think people would take offense to it..

ITs a real LP, but the wiring that is in there right now is really s****, i mean its seriousally like tinfoil, and when i do the kit i was planning on replacing the wiring with nice vintage style shielded.. Watch the language, you're not off to a good start

If you are, let me know, i used to play, and though this is not my sax, i can tell you, it has amazing sound! price is 1100.. made in germany. estemated 40 yrs old. recently resprung and padded.. costing upwards of 500.. Here's some pics. any questions, drop me a PM or e-mail

Has anybody installed or played a guitar with these installed? is it worth it? I'm debating putting one in my LP to ditch the cheap tinfoilish wire and cheap pots.. any thoughts?
