Phred Wolph [7.9 lbs] :: bad effects loop switch.
This is a copy based on "The Wolf" guitar built by Doug Irwin for Jerry Garcia in 1973. It has an onboard effects loop that allows you to send your signal out to your pedal board and then back to the guitar. The toggle switch that turns this loop on / off became intermittent so it was replaced with a new Carling DPDT.
2009 Resurrection Eagle [9.8 lbs] :: flip pickups.
The guitar was previously wired so that the coil taps activated the bridge-side of each humbucker. The player wanted a warmer single coil sound (coil tap on neck side), so the pickups were each rotated 180° (bass to treble). I could have rewired each pickup but I did not want to splice in extra lead lengths.
