hi all,

I have a 1966 370-12 MG which I have since September 1967, (my birthday), and which was purchased by my parents when I was 15. yep, I sure delivered lots of newspapers and sold lots of Boy Scout Seeds to come up with $300.00 to give to my parents since they could not believe an electric guitar could cost $800.00 !

the pickups are the same pickups that came with the guitar except for the Middle pickup which stopped working at some point near 1969 and which was returned to, and repaired by the factory no charge thanks to F.C. Hall. Other than that, I've never "measured" outputs, they still sound fine to me.

The only modification I made was to remove the entire original lower pickguard with controls (which I still have), and had another pickguard cut and drilled to install 3 mini-toggle switches (1 for each pickup) and one master Volume and Tone controls. In this way I get all possible pickup combinations. I have no need for individual vol. and tone controls per pickup.
