If you have any parts left over let me know, I haven't spray painted anything in days.
NF3
- Floyd Rose
- Switch pickup config to NF in the neck and 5909 in the bridge
- New pickguard
SAS
- Switch pickup config to NF in the neck and bridge
- Plug the middle pickup and holes left by existing HB route for neck and bridge pickups
- Refinish the body and neck

Oh man that is going to SING!!!!!
Nice!! This will be cool to watch!!
bangin'
I love threads like this one. Will be interesting to see how the route for the neck pickup is managed.
I went to bed last night dreaming up a new PTC project. It's addictive.
I"m excited to see the NF3! Wow!
Me too!Quote:

So, what's the PTC going to do to allow the neck to be properly mounted with enough support, yet still fill in the gap on the front remaining from converting from a full size humbucker to a NF?
NF3 Progress!
