Stock guts. Noticably more shielding on the factory pickguard, and obviously no wood channel shielding. Thankfully I was also able to do the entire project without removing the strings...just loosening. That's good, because I just put brand new Elixirs on...and hated to waste them.
In order to get the pickups re-aligned quickly in the new pickguard, I used a pencil mark to denote the position of the pickups in the factory pickguard. I then just screwed them in on the new pickguard to the same leveling. Seemed to be a quick way to get back into adjustment.
Looking at this bare body made me want to add shielding. Didn't really plan on it or think about it before, but since I had some aluminum duct tape laying around...figured I would do that while I was in there.
But first...had to do a test fit, to make sure all the holes aligned. It fit like a charm!
