Ahhh, but would you put them in a Greco?
Never mind, some questions are best not answered. It keeps the mystery and suspense building, and our Queen is all about mystery and suspense.;)

Pretty solid nope on changing anything on the Greco, I paid $750 for mine and with no doubt in my mind for that money it destroys everything in it's path - that single pickup could conquer entire planets!
That said I'm digging the Non Rev very much in no small part due to the pickups, they are very nice, to my ear better than the 760's as they seem to have a broader response thru the bass, lo mid and mids.

Very curious how they compare in that respect to the likes of Thunderbucker, Lollar, Lull, etc.

Thunderbird Thursday, my latest acquisition, a used Eppi IV from Guitar Center.

Might be a burst or maybe burgundy; might be all chrome hardware or maybe only a chrome bridge; might be trash or maybe a great player; might keep it stock or maybe modded to hell; might have paid $180 for it or maybe closer to $230; might arrive next Thursday or maybe not; might return it to GC or maybe add it to the flock.

Here’s a pic, if you use your imagination you might be able to see it or maybe not…

Glad you have everything nailed down...

Kind of a Chuck and Miles question, but I'm sure others might know as well. I'm kind of wondering if my phaser wasn't shorting out. I opened it some time back and didn't see any signs of arching, but at that low power it might not show any. The foam that separates the circuit board was really falling apart. It was kind of sticky but provided no barrier from the metal box from circuit board. And there are a couple joints that stick up and just about touch the back/bottom of the box. I've cleaned out as much of the old foam as possible and put some electrical tape over the two joints that stick up. I'm going to find some foam or other packing type of material like foam to but over the circuit board. Will most any kind of foam material work or would some plastics create static and cause a short or other problem?

I doubt any of this will work, but thought it's worth a try later today.

Thanks everybody! I'm looking forward to a little dinner with family at a nice place in Burien, WA.
A new dress for the occasion makes it even better!
