Black rules

Yeah Peter!!
Black tuners on that thing will make it too sexy for it's own good!
I never could understand the white plastic on the otherwise beautiful instruments....gimme the gold & black!

That looks great Peter! I don't know about the black tuners though, as the chrome matches the rest of the hardware better.

Chrome tuners is where I am going. I am hesitating because of the small repairs to the holes on the back of the headstock that will be showing after I install the Klusons.

I've never let that bother me on any of my basses. And no one I have ever shown them to made any comments either.

...Brings "tiers" to my eyes [ooohhh, that hurt...]
Peter, you should consider putting open back Statite/C58 Ric tuners or Waverlys on it; much cooler, IMO...think about it.

Super-cool, Peter....the black and gold trim looks really good on the mapleglo, and dressed it up nicely! I like the chrome knobs, too. Classy!

Peter. I have looked into installing Klusons on my 610 and from what I can see, no holes would show after removing the Schallers, the Klusons cover the holes.

I did this with my 1997 330/12 and it came out phenomenal. Of course, 12s use the Schaller Mini and 6s use the standard Schaller M6.

Yes, there is the size difference between the Schaller M6s and the mini 6s.

I'll be a fillin' an' a drillin' 'fore I'm pickin' an' a grinnin'.

Back to the original topic, here is my 1989 Fireglo 350 with gold V59 guards and nameplate.

Thanks for getting back to the main topic Kevin. A great looking Model 350. Are you using the conventional RIC wiring?

The middle pickup is not connected right now. I don't remember where I got the idea to do that, but I like the sound!

Why not use the fifth knob as a volume control for the middle pickup?

I've got to try this on my 320...can anyone tell me where to get the correct thickness black material (vinyl?) to cut my own pickguards from. Thanks for your help....

I thought about doing that, and I may in the future, but I am satisfied with it the way it is.
