That's one of those Eden bodies. I really don't want to redrill my Fender neck. I know for a fact I will fuck it up. lol

Well my bro in LA is sending me a neck should be here Monday, if not he will bring it with him on Thursday when he comes up. He is also bringing me some other shite as well maybe an original Van Zandt.

Sweet deal. I wanna see pictures of this thing getting put together. What are the details of the neck? And whats a Van Zandt?

captcoolaid · 10-18-2009, 02:25 AM

Original Van zandt single coils were the shit in the late 80's early 90's. They were wound at around 10k bridge 7 middle and 5.9 in the neck they were massive sounding. The guy who is hooking me up talked with them and they may have to rewind the pup. I will document the build and the cost of everything.

That sounds like a mean and fat set of single coils. I'd like to hear those!

I look forward to the build!

captcoolaid · 10-18-2009, 02:34 AM

I just found a set on ebay for 137 good deal might have to swoop them up.

Werd.

Here it is, almost 2:00 am and I'm thinking how cool my Blackie would look with a black pickguard, so I went on ebay and bought one (after dragging my lazy ass upstairs to count screw holes)

Anyway, it'll be a new signature, the "Eric Gilmore" signature. You heard of it here first guys, no stealing my thunder, I'll post pics when I get it.

Look forward to it. I'm thinking about ordering a mint guard for my black Strat.

That sounds interesting. Never seen that. I am really digging the Alpine White with the mint green. I think that will be my next build. Maybe do like my buddy did and build the 11 pound LP killer.
