Bend it to the Owl!
Last year while searching for some Jerry Garcia stuff I came across an article discussing PRSh installing an Alembic Stratoblaster in a guitar of his, 1979 IIRC.
I knew Jerry had one in his strat, and I had recently received my SE Silver Sky and the specs are supposed to be Fender-like so I went for it, and bought an Alembic Stratoblaster unit for my axe.
Here is the install.
Running the Wires
It fit the output jack perfectly, and the Plate was manufactured to fender spec
Power wires goes through the existing routing to the back of the trem cavity, with the battery under some foam behind the trem block.
Plenty of room for trem use!
Finished product, adds some DB of gain to the signal. If the battery dies, turn it off and the pickups work normally.
John Mayer beat me to it somewhat with the reveal, and the gold plate looks terrible on his guitar, in my opinion
This axe is sweet!
