    Default Still at it! J.L. Smith (5-stringer) Just Completed.

    Just thought I'd post this one, that I just completed: 5-String, with dual Kent Armstrong Mini-Humbuckers, Flamed Maple Neck, and upgraded Gotoh Mini Tuners. I also did an upgrade on the electronics with this one, by adding a resistor into the treble bleed circuit (which smoothes the tone out nicely) and a Mallory capacitor (which just fit). Going out today to a fellow musician here in Florida.
    Thanks for looking,
    John
