So here it is completed, along with pictures of the process.
I got my hands on a double edge pro on the bay for sometime ago, but I wasn't very keen to do some routing in this guitar, at least not give it to some telecaster lovers for routing.
And it also got rid of the Gold edge pro, which has served this guitar for 6 months or so.
I spent a lot of time to figure out how to wire this without having more controllers and holes in the body, so I figured out that I really didn't need anything else than position 1,2,4,and 5 of a regular RG2020 H-H wiring.
And then the middle position was chosen to the piezo pickup.
And for this The VLX91 pickup selector was absolutely needed, as well as some mods to the control x preamp.
I removed the volume pot, and the toggle switch.
The tone knob is working on the piezo position as well, which it's not on the 2020X if I remeber correctly.
Btw Nice wallpaper, huh?
The guitar stripped, and of course it has the JPM neck which someone on this forum already know that I love.
Yes, Oiling the fretboard while the guitar is still stringless.
Getting ready for wiring on the backside of the pickguard, along with my well engineered wiring diagram, notice the tone pot, a short shaft was needed to get available space for the battery beneath.
The pickups are DiMarzio Air Norton, and Petrucci custom bridge, which is also direct mounted to the body.
Battery placement, piezo wires, and the green one is to bridge ground.
The only hole I had to drill was for the piezo wires.
Pickguard almost done.
Control X preamp does acutally fit in the jack cavity, lucky me, Imagine working in this cavity, it is not too much space.
Yeah Baby! Completed. And plays like a dream.
Cosmo black makes the look of if quite angryish.
