@@hugoarrunategui I hate pickup rings, too. My advice is to remove the pickup rings and investigate what is the condition of the routing and finishing on YOUR particular guitar because no two are the same. I would also advise you to change the output jack with the Pure Tone Muti-Contact Jack. The original is total crap.

@CHARMONIUMGUITARS Thanks for the tip! I already did the following: 1 - replaced the varnish finish with new satin coat, 2- painted the headstock to match color with the body (green-blue burst), 3 - scalloped from 17 to 24th, 4 - installed stainless frets, 5- rewire for two new selections with pushpulls - (A) neck+bridge parallel and (B) bypass all pots as a boost.

@hugoarrunategui Sounds like you had lots of fun! I came to the conclusion, or should I say, built up a personal taste that splitting and taping are too much of a tone compromise for a high gain tone. Simply put, I hate any ground noise the high gain tones bring with single/split coils. So a 5-way switch becomes downgrade in tone in comparison to a simpler 3-way switch with all 3 positions hum cancelling (stacked hum cancelling middle pup) Another negative of the splitting is the difference in the oitput level between the positions. Use a multimeter and measure. You can get away with such a difference in the studio, but in a live situation, it quickly becomes the difference between being able to be heard in the mix or not.

​@CHARMONIUMGUITARS I see! I feel the same. I have another guitar with coil tap and rearely use this option. That is why in my Ibanez I preferred a N+B toogle and a bypass toggle for a "boost" instead of lowering signals... In the next restring I will check the body cut without the humbucker ring to see if I will remove it. I also was checking the purchase of a transparent ring to reenchance this nice ash wood in green-blue burst color.

@@hugoarrunategui You can also consider transparent full pickguard to make it look like the floral Jem.

@luisbarrera5740 It didn't occur to me to measure the weight, but it's brass, so it has weight to it, which in my book means better sustain. The main reason for this installation was to muzzle the wild horse just a bit, so the tremolo is keeping the flutter but is stable enough to resist pitch change when a butterfly lands on it. I like the quality and adjustability of this contraption. It goes from 0 to 100, so you can dial it just the way it suits your style.

@CHARMONIUMGUITARSare you happy with the result? Does it flutter well in stabilisation mode? Can it help to keep guitar in tune after huge bends and flutter at the same setting? What are the downsides?

@@ZadorkinAA The only downside is you gonna get a $100 ish poorer. I will install this in oll my future floating tremolos.
