DarkHeart Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I got myself a Zebrano neck off fleabay the other week with the notion of having a cabinet maker friend of mine build me a body for it but I couldnt resist building a PJ out of it and I think it looks quite special! still waiting for the Entwistle PBXN pickup to arrive but the Wilkinson one in use certainly doesnt disappoint. Its got a Squier PJ body (cheers Lel), Wilkinson tuners (why does he make the bases so big!) a JBXN at the bridge, a Wilkinson multi adjustable bridge, Rotosound Nexus strings and a KiOgon wiring loom.

TheGreek Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'd go with either a natural, orange or black finish on the body personally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Good hack on the machine heads. They do look like large baseplates. Is the headstock smaller than usual somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah I think it is on the small side but ive seen examples before of Wilkinson machines over hanging on Squiers as well. The PBXN pickup arrived today and now I`m currently in the process of getting the P pup reversed and obviously a new bwb plate made.

[/quote] A refin would probably double what its cost although a mega bright orange finish would be nice, it does look remarkably nice in the flesh as it is though, the grain in the neck really pops!

[/quote] Well to me it sounds like a Precision with a maple neck, seems brighter than rosewood but who am I to tell Its now finished with the reversed Entwistle PBXN pup and new plate (cheers Howard) sounds and plays great, i think it looks non too shabby either.
