Roscoe Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 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) Pre-Build [attachment=137906:10.jpg] [attachment=137907:11.jpg] [attachment=137908:12.jpg] [attachment=137909:13.jpg] [attachment=137910:14.jpg] The work begins [attachment=137911:15.jpg] [attachment=137912:16.jpg] [attachment=137913:17.jpg] [attachment=137914:18.jpg] [attachment=137915:19.jpg] [attachment=137916:20.jpg] [attachment=137923:27.jpg] Post work glamour shots [attachment=137917:21.jpg] [attachment=137918:22.jpg] [attachment=137919:23.jpg] [attachment=137920:24.jpg] [attachment=137921:25.jpg] [attachment=137922:26.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roscoe Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Cheers, I am running an independent volume and tone control for each pickup to give myself the broadest range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaddock Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 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!

captainhaddock Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah I must agree with you there plus the solderless connections are a serious bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
