"Firebird VII Fullsized Humbuckers"

That one used to be a two pup one that I routed a few months ago for a friend. He wanted to do a clear finish and this body just wont fly for that so I added a middle pup to it and kept it for me. I'll machine a fresh one for him from the next board of material (the 2 for Nick Greer and Joe's bass... ran out of time this morning).

The middle one with 3 mini's is for my buddy Dave who after an hour of playing mine asked how soon we could start one for him LOL.

The last one with 2 fullsized buckers is for my Dad.

Been a productive couple days... more to come :D

My "VII" has Kent Armstrongs but I think Im going to swap a Lollar into the bridge. I really love the KA for the neck.

The "VII P90" one for myself with get a trio of Lollars, the "VII full sized buckers" will probably get a set of WCR crossrods or filmores (or filmores with a CR's for the mid).... haven't decided with the FB-JR yet.

Those other two are going to bankrupt me with pickups!
