Finally got it done today, I’ve been putting it off for the longest time. Thanks to @John_E when he upgraded his pickups he asked me if I wanted this set for a killer deal. The red EMG pj HZ set. Delivers very good amount of power. I’ll order the red knobs to complete the set.

Dude! If that’s for real, it’s epic.

That’s definitely a Red Green job. Needs some duct tape.

Speaking of epic. I just finished this today, inspired by the custom shop. It’s a Squier MIJ E series with British Racing green. I have the fender anodized gold aluminum but this custom pickguard is darker so more color contrast. Originally I want to put the the EMG SL20 pickguard set on but it turns out this body only routed for 3 singles so luckily I have the DG20, I just swapped out the pickguard. Hipshot locking tuners, and fender American Tremelo bridge.
I put a flat wound on it but made a mistake of installing the D and G string. Hmmm! Another set is on the way.

Interesting choice/combo. Very cool.
Can you select between upper and lower?
What made you pick it?

You can choose between pickups, either an MM or Jazz. The Surveyor 400 has a similar setup but with an EMG pickup; but it’s a little harsh and hot for my liking. I chatted with Best Bass Gear and think this is a good solution that won’e change my setup.

Let us know, I don’t know anything about Delanos, but do know the BBG guys do like them a lot. I have a Delano 2 band preamp in my Fender HMT per their reco and it works great.

I remember you saying good things about BBG and thought I would try thenm out.

They also suggest pairing this with a Bartolini soapbar P pickup but that’s not in stock. So I’m going to go with the current EMG P soapbar and pair with that, and take it from there

The only reason I even recognize that name is that Sandberg specs some of their guitars with them. I’m still trying to justify pulling the trigger on a Sandberg :slight_smile:
