An interesting project though. Please post pictures of your progress. Good luck. I took a shortcut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, what was I thinking. I won't disassemble, paint and resemble the Traben until I have a new pickup and extras. I've chosen, EMG mmcs EMG bqs control EMG tko kill switch I will disable the neck pickup. Just need to save up some money, hopefully this time next month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewUser Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Still have a few kinks to work out. Would some of you Traben owners please be so kind to measure the string distance between the strings and pickups? I think my pickups need raising but if so I'll have to get some taller springs and thicker foam, I've got them both raised as far as they will go and think they should come up higher. I reused the springs and foam off of my Traben pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
