The Neck and Body came from parts unknown and were stripped and lacquered. |

It looks like you used the standard 3-screw pickup mounting. Did you adapt 2-screw mini humbuckers to fit? I've thought of making a mounting plate/adapter but haven't done it.
What is the 5-way switch doing with 2 pickups?

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Yeah, this venue has morphed quite a bit from the do-it-cheap guitar hacking from past years. I will post my electric baritone uke pretty soon. It's kinda a wee-small Les Paul, with 4 strings, & definitely, bottomfeeding. I'm letting the lacquer harden- took about 8 coats, too. |

Stunning, MWoody! Thanks for sharing! Man, the last thing I need is an O-Electric GAS attack! But then, I sure would love to hear what that Deacon sounds like...any chance of a video? |
