First time at a do it yourself install. I bought the pick up and pick guard from a place Milo suggested.

Then did the Lay Out work,installed the electronics i.e. pots, wiring etc.

countersunk the screw holes WAH LAH or maybe TA DAH

Pluged it in and then listened to it SING.

 

JAZZ, There just ain't enough eeeeeeeeees' in SWEET to describe it!

Can't tell, is the pickup one of those that clips on to the fingerboard?

 

Actually the pickup attaches to the Pick-guard. You probably can not see that from the

pictures I sent but, there are 2 countersunk holes in the guard that the pick up attaches to.

This all came as a kit without a template so it had to be a custom fit for all the components.

If you notice the 1/4" jack is at the bottom edge of the guard mounted between the volume

and tone controls. I did this because I did not want to drill into the L7 Body. I used nylon

threaded bolts instead of the nickel bolts usually associated with this type of set up so that

I could paint them black to blend in with the guard itself.
