First of all, Wizbat, thanks for that. I am in Lancashire. I've just followed your links to your six strings - incredible.
Jon, thanks for the info. Yes, the one nearest the neck looks original because the hole someone has made in the scratchplate is a poor job. Also, I was wrong, the two pick-ups do not sound the same - maybe similar. But the new one is much 'hotter'. The micro switch is working but not in the central position.
Wow, only been on this forum a week and learning so much.
Thanks guys
Alan
