Peavey Grind 6 - EMG conversion

[Roscoe]

So I recently did some work on my original Peavey Grind 6, which involved the fitting of some EMG pickups.

The problem with this was that, due to the instruments age it had the older standard for 6 string pickup mounting. So in turn required some dremmeling...

so here are some of my photos that I took though out the build, feel free to comment on my work.

(also forgot to add that I copper shielded the cavity prior to the work starting, but forgot to take pictures, sorry)

Very nice what tone control setup are you using?

[voxpop]

I like.

[Roscoe]

Cheers, I am running an independent volume and tone control for each pickup to give myself the broadest range.

[captainhaddock]

Nice i'm using the same control set up in my Yamaha trb1006 with a 45j neck and a 45tw bridge at the moment I've just got a exb tone control to replace one of the tone pots when I get around to it!

[Roscoe]

Ah very nice, i have to say these pickups make a world of difference. The tone and clarity they offer is astonishing.

[captainhaddock]

Yeah I must agree with you there plus the solderless connections are a serious bonus!

[Roscoe]

yeah they are awesome, for got to add, did some soldering to convert the system to 18V, might have been able to see from the pictures.
