Nice. A pickup cover costing as much as the actual pickup itself.

Finalized the swap just now. Had to dremel off excess plastic around the bridge area as it was interfering with the bridge plate during whammy work and getting a good lineup with the screw holes. The tone pot's just a dummy to maintain a symmetrical look for the control knobs.

doesn't that look like classical guitar machine heads?

 

[eieio]

doesn't that look like classical guitar machine heads?

Yes it does, doesnt it..
except it is made of metal instead of nylon shaft(see pic):
I may also need to get another set for classical, after I'm done with this one...

​

 

[relinquish69]

^ looks very cool indeed! problem is how many acoustic guitars actually have such headstocks? I'm only aware of Kapok guitars having such a thing. I may be swa koo though. pardon the ignorance haha.

 

[eieio]

It's ok, nope.. this one up a bit than kapok.. hehe
My mom bought it for me... my first acoustic guitar, I love you mommy!
It's been through hell & back, was in my best friend's place too when his house caught fire..

​

 

[eieio]

junkiemanxl, I got this thread off Jaben who got it off Soft.. so it was $50 for for a classical eh?

From a $50 congress classical way back from the void days to the beautiful showroom models found in the glass cabinets at lee.

anyway how abt this? $3.75 Standard Int'l Flat Rate Shipping
no indication if the knobs fit cts or for imports, can give it a try & ask seller..
