Finished my modded 340 Monty Brown
The bridge and middle pickups are "hot" Toasters and the neck pickup is a disguised (Toaster cover) Hi-gain (courtesy of forumite, Ken Joseph). The personalized gold guards were done by Pickguardian. I initially replaced the factory control knobs with oven knobs, but then decided to go with the black Vintage-style knobs.

Nice job, Ron. I agree that the vintage knobs are the way to go here.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Love the MB finish especially with the gold signature pick-guard and vintage style knobs.

Classy looks to give those 381s a run for their money. Great job.
How do you like it with this pickup combination?

Very nice, indeed. I'm usually not a big fan of golden guards, but on the MB it looks great!

Re: Finished my modded 340 Monty Brown
Thanks for all the nice comments. The guitar sounds awesome with this pickup combination. The neck PU (disguised Hi-Gain) has a pleasing "mellow jazz" tone when used alone and imparts a pleasing balance when all 3 pickups are engaged. With the TI flatwounds, it's a complete package.
Re: Finished my modded 340 Monty Brown
Wow. Very nice Ron. Does it sport a gold TRC too?
