The Dunable D-Bird pickups state they are made with ceramic, like the ‘90’s up TB+ Classic pickups:

It (the white bird control cavity) doesn't look original/factory - some later hacking.
Before I step into a studio or in any kind of jam session, ear plugs go in first.
I’ve had a pair of Hearos in my gig pouch for the longest and used to have a set of Earasers in a keychain fob that kept on me at all times.
Problem with the Earasers fob was that kept getting unscrewed in my pocket, and I eventually lost one. The other thing is they started get oily over time.
I looked up a review listing the best earplugs for musicians for 2023 and came up with these top rated ones by Bollsen. For 16.99 apiece, I bought three as opposed to the number two slot earplugs going for $199.

Will check them out this coming week-

A couple things different... my '64 II (I added the middle V pot - excuse my messy soldering from 1986
) has a front mounted jack (which I replaced), which I thought they all did. Your has a side mounted jack (?) Yours has Gibson branded pots. (mine has standard 500k pots) And mine has aluminum shielding paint (and traces of black?) - yours has carbon (or at least that's what it looks like) on the cavity floor. And mine has two caps to yours having one. Same brown & yellow coated wiring & braided ground wire. Different routing also. (yours has flattened peaks) Interesting how different they are coming from the same year.

I currently use Eargasm's. They look exactly the same as the Eargrace in that article. I've used ear protection since the '80s. I still have a set that I bought then with a big honkin' metal baffle. I still use them if I forget the Eargasm's. The 'losing one' part is an issue and at this point I have three - so a back-up. They are clear and really hard to find if dropped. I glued rhinestones on the pull-tabs to make them easier to spot in the dark. My idea would be to install tiny LED's on each one so when they drop they'd start blinking. Don't know if that technology exists - but I'd buy them.

Oops! 13 videos. First 8 are from our first gig(8/8/14). Others are from a coupla car shows we played at.Well done.* The only videos of the current group were shot by my brother-in-law on either his phone or the drummer's camcorder. No capability-or money-to edit them into something cohesive.
If anyone's interested, go on YT to "Driftwoods of Treasure Coast-Live", posted by John Kerrison(my BiL). There's ~17 full songs(we're playing for dancing so they're 'stretched'). I was using my since sold Epi EB-3L due to not wanting to take the 67NR on outdoor heat and humidity gigs.
We don't have a 'lead singer' as such since the 2 guitarists and I alternate singing lead and the drummer sings some harmonies.
Our "shtick" is wearing Hawai'ian shirts.
*I prefer rare to medium rare

They’re accepting offers and apparently shipping free. Don’t forget to ad tax though. It would be a good deal if it can be had for around $1700-$1800, including tax and shipping. JMO.Decent price, looks good, right colour.

Thank you for this post.
And the Ric sounded very thin.
Your idea of jamming with some of your band at your place would also be fun!

Nice showcase for your Band. A lot of energy on that stage!
The video was lipsynching to the record.
They are good, but so are are the Probuckers in your VP.
Great work. Love the snow!Every now and then, the Train Dork has to visit!
And I just noticed the engineer.
