    New S2 Studio!

    https://imgur.com/a/QZHVIOG A quick, fairly rough bit of photoshopping... I've tried to keep the basic outline of the scratchplate intact, but needed to change the curve at the top to incorporate the middle PU.

    New S2 Studio!

    I've finally managed to snag a type-D pickup on eBay UK for £50, so if I'm feeling brave, I might end up creating a one-of-a-kind S2 Studio Reclaimed Limited... Designing a new pickguard seems like it'll be the hardest part. Any suggestions?

    New S2 Studio!

    If I could get hold of another D-type pickup, I'd be tempted to modify my Vela Reclaimed to have this configuration...

    Loose wire on 594 - what should it be connected to?

    Thanks everyone! I can't find my soldering iron, so I'll sort this out properly at some point. @garrett - It's interesting to see the differences in how the components have been wired up - I'd expected it to be a standardised process.

I've looked at the published schematics and I can't figure out where the wire should be soldered to. I'm in...

    Unofficial Reclaimed Limited Thread

    My Vela finally arrived a few weeks ago (they took ages to arrive in the UK for some reason) and it's the nicest-playing guitar I own. My HB II and 594 barely get a look-in now. The neck feels great and it sustains beautifully. I kinda wish that they'd used wood for the birds though - it would...

    Unofficial Reclaimed Limited Thread

    I've pre-ordered a Vela from Peach Guitars in the UK and don't even have an ETA. Seems like there's a bit of a delay in getting these shipped over to Europe. Andertons are showing that they're expecting them in on 30th June...
