I added a Ghost piezo system. The pickups are a Gibson 57 Classic with a unoriented A5 magnet and a Gibson 57+ with a A4 magnet. Each pickup is connected to a Seymour Duncan Triple Shot pickup ring. Output for the magnetic pickups go through the toggle switch and then to a Bartolini AGMPBoo buffer preamp. The piezo pickups for each string plug directly into the preamp. Output goes to a balance pot and then to a master volume and tone. I was going to put in two volumes with 2 tones, but some issues came up with wiring that I eventually traced to a bad toggle switch. The fourth pot isn't attached to anything. I used 25k pots with a 0.47 mfd cap. It sounds great. And with the balance pot I can easily mix the two signals.

Pawn shop find

I found this nifty 1978 Electra 2259 SG at the pawn shop the other day. It needed to be cleaned up. It has the original Maxon humbuckers. I had to replace a pickup ring, the switch, and a tone pot. Outside of that, it's all original. Super low action on this thing. Frets are in good shape.
