Here is my Combo I think that the pickups are from a Univox Barney Kessel guitar

If anybody can confirm this that would be great

As you can tell it is a well worn mutt. Anybody know what the output would be on these pickups?
Anybody that can list all the things non orignal gets a prize.

looks like the tuners, pickups, pickup rings (with screws), pickguard, strap buttons, and switch tip on the toggle all have been replaced. :D

cool guitar by the way.

Nice looking guitar, Brutus. After the Mark 1, The Combo/Joe Maphis is my favorite in the "looks" dept. Also, as a side note, I have been to your Myspace page several times. Really enjoy your music.

Thanks Strat-o-rama I'm glad you dig the music. I am a little embarassed about my pick guard the guy that made it for me was not a pro that's for sure. I bought a repo pickguard but alas it won't fit the uni-vox pickup rings I am considering putting one Ed E, and one Hallmark pickup in (that would be cool to us guitar geeks anyway) but I developed my sound around te set as is so if I put high output pups in that could pose a problem as I use a high vol. and lot's of fuzz plus delays.

p.s. My band and Scottstandard's band ( the One Night Standards) are playing together Oct. in Iowa should be fun I'll post a poster soon

If you need a pickguard made you can't go wrong with Paul Setzer. He has created an awesome reputation for making exact replicas of pickguards. He is also a great guy to deal with. He can be reached here:
