Wait what. Did I miss something. I might have to order one now just out of respect.

My assumption is based purely on the layout being (from what I can tell) identical. I could be totally wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.
I smell lawyers ahead and I hate lawyers.. even the 3pdt switch is identical labeling, only diff is red vs black solder mask! buuut, I think dropping like $35~40 for the PPCB path is better, can't be that hard to print off the ghost vs $125 before shipping....

I hope so, worried about 1 of THOSE guys being the greedy muth....No lawyers needed, all is good here.
is a sign when you have a design right when the 'high end' place uses it!

I'm looking forward to building my 'Lectric Ladyparts" flanger! High hopes for the "PIC-inator"...It was a big delivery day..
MPLab, relays, PIC12s and PIC16s
MN3007s,3008s,3009s,MN3101s PF5102s,OPA2134s,LTC1044 (trying these out), and a big honking PT2395...
...and my Ghost Drive, WITH adorable ghost transfer

Just a typical day at the orifice:
500 or so 0.1% SMD resistors, mostly in non standard values, 100 or so Wima and Kemet film caps, several C taper Alpha pots and some detented linear ones, a new dual opamp flavor to test, and then a small LMS hit for switches, knobs, etc. $250, we barely knew ye!

I don't think the Juno 106 or MiniMoog Model D use any PICs.

I have to say I look forward to my orders from Electronic Goldmine more than any other vendor. There's always some fun obscure stuff I wind up ordering from there!
I got some low profile 22uf electrolytic caps for some upcoming 1590A builds.
A whole tube of NOS "Vintage" 10k trim pot hahaha (anyone need some 10k trimmers?)
And a couple bags of assorted high end resistors. Vishay, Dale, etc. I'm gonna need to sort through them to see what's usable.
Oh and my "treasure" haul. Some Telefunken BC239C's.
These will be going into my Muffin build.
Also got a set of 5% 525k TAOT CTS pots for my LP Special re-wire. Haven't tested them yet to see if they're in spec. Waiting for some pickups now.

Which Pickups have you ordered?

Heh, funny you should ask......
I think I mentioned in another thread that I ordered a Zhangbucker for the neck. The "Lollipop". Super low wind 6k. I was planning to only replace the neck pickup.
But the more I thought about it, the more I started second guessing myself. The 6k wind will actually work a lot better in my Gretsch to match the Filtertron in the bridge position. That guitar has issues with the balance between the P90 neck (usually 8k or 9k) and the 'Tron which is like 4.3k.
So I'm putting the "Lollipop" in the Gretsch. Also, the Zhang comes with 3 conductor wiring so I can match the phase with the Tron. (I've had issues with other pickups I've tried).
I ordered a set of Lollar P90's for the LP Special. 50's wind for the neck and Standard wind for the bridge. Exact same set that's in my P90 Tele.

Excellent choice on the lollars. Mick from that pedal show has that combo of lollars in his collings and his prs Mccarty.

You can't get any more "authentic Filtertron" than TV Jones. They're more Gretsch than Gretsch
The pickups I'm talking about are P90's different animal completely and won't fit in your Gretsch. I'd leave the Gretsch alone.
Get a cheap Harley Benton with P90's and see if you like the sound.
A P90 is essentially a big fat single coil pickup. So you get all the noise and stuff from that (unless you get a hum cancelling type which I think changes the nature of the pickup and it no longer sounds as P90-ish as I would like).
For frame of reference. David Gilmour's first solo in "Another Brick in the Wall" is a clean but "pushed" P90 (57 Les Paul Goldtop I believe).
