"Starting to solder everything together.  The humbucker coil split is actually pretty simple.  A humbucker is basically two single coil pickups wired together in series but out of phase which cancels out the hum that single coils generate.  If you run a wire from between the two "sides" of the humbucker  to ground, current only runs through one of the two sides of the humbucker before completing the circuit, making it act like a single coil.  The push-pull pot on the tone control allows you to turn this on or off, switching between full humbucker and single coil modes for the bridge pickup."

"You have 30 seconds.  Which wire do you cut?

All of these needed to be de-soldered, although I didn't bother replacing the switch or the jack."

"Not a frankenstrat - it's a modded jazzmaster"

"New humbucker is in, starting to wire up the coil split."

"That doesn't look anything like Frankenstrat."

"This was the guitar pretty much stock, with the knobs and screws removed, ready to be put under the knife"

"Here's the final state of the guitar with all of the mods done!"

"What's the project?"

"This picture perfectly fits into my art project. May I use it?

"Cool!"

"Tricky!!! Air valve?. Or a hose?"

"Nice!"

"I remember when you emailed me some of these photos. It gave me quite a start to suddenly see you falling out of an airplane."

"Awesome!"
