Ambient Shoegazing

Now change the pickup.

As you already know, the original one is totally different from the new one.



This is the original one.

$dormer



There are four screws in total by two on each side.

This is the pickup up of Suhr company.


$dormer



There are just only two screws !

And as you see, it is impossible to attach it because the number
and the position of the screw are not same.

Besides the pickup of Suhr company is too small to fix on where it should be.



Then Taiki took out a part called an "escutcheon" which he prepared.


$dormer









At first, he will attach an escutcheon on the pick guard
and then fix a pickup with the screw hole which is in the center of an escutcheon.

Preparation for a pickup installation

$dormer




After having fitted a pickup of Suhr company in escutcheon

But size is still different ! Still small !

Then Taiki took out again something.

It was a black plastic plate to fill in the difference of size.
For Taiki, it was a piece of cake !

Would he foresee such situation?
(He said "No !")



$dormer




In spite of a small happening, all went well.
The pickup was finally attached to the pick guard !

The next is the final stage.
The electrical equipment and connection of the wiring.

I could not anymore follow what he was doing
