OK
outside of the fact that for many many years I considered this to be my main instrument and "the best playing guitar I've ever had", my trusty, rusty, dinged up (or "naturally relic'd") 1990 67 RI with it's twice broken neck is truely the definition of a players instrument, and as such I can probably let go of notions of keeping it in all original condition to preserve it's value. Indeed, when the B tuner died last year, I had a nice set of sealed Gotohs installed.
ever since the change though, I've been playing mostly other guitars (mostly Robots)
I've been keeping this at my rehersal space of late, and I noticed the other day that the bottom coil bobbin of my neck pickup (which admittedly I rarely if ever use) was busted. I know I didn't do it, so either the plastic disintigrated on it's own, or one of the rapscallions I share my space with busted it. (generally they are good roomates, so I'm going to let this slide, besides I don't know what happened) at any rate, I figure the exposed coil windings are not good. I was thinking, sure I could go for a stock replacement part, but to keep things interesting, perhaps I should get a less conventional pickup put in. maybe a Sustainer? I'd love to get a P-90, but I don't think it would fit in the routing without having to alter it (which I don't want to do), so perhaps a P-100? any ideas or suggestions?
