Great job on my “reimagined” ‘99 Swamp Ash Special...

- NOS 53/10 pickups
- Fralin Blues Special
- New lampshade knobs & wiring scheme (resistors on the split coils)
- Mini-toggles to split the ‘buckers
- Push-pull tone pot to engage the Fralin
- New adjustable one-piece bridge
- Fret level & crown w/setup

It’s a different guitar!

Awesome! Where did you score the 53/10s from? I bet the split sounds are fantastic

I bought a set a few years back when production stopped, and then put them away for use later. Later has arrived, lol . They match up well with the swamp ash body and the Fralin.

KILLER! I really dig that!

Sweet! Nice mods!!

 

[bodia]

That looks awesome! Great mods!

 

[crgtr]

Very cool!

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Bangin'!

I'm surprised they didn't try and talk you into converting your tuners.

 

[dmatthews]

Very nicely thought out and implemented!

 

[veinbuster]

Very cool.
I might have to do that to mine one day.

I asked about it and they said it could be done but the old screw holes would still be visible, even if filled. I do prefer the Phase III’s but the winged tuners still work fine so I decided to stay with them...

Super! That wiring scheme is exactly what I've dreamed of doing to a SAS.

I have 53/10's in my SAS also. What a great match for that model. I may have to go the mini switch route also. Congrats.

Nice! 53/10s with that wood combo must be heavenly!

I have 5310's in a ce22 and they are fantastic!

My parts drawer has a set out of a P22, covered bridge and a squabbin neck. All four of these pickups are waiting for a home!

Nice guitar muh man. Waiting on my Mccarty to arrive from PTC. The wait just kills.

Looks lovely. Tasteful updating but still looks of its age. Think these models are aging well
