Now equipped with Seymour Duncan JB Jr. bridge pickup & Dunlop Dual Design Straplok System

My SX project guitar now equipped with Seymour Duncan JB Jr. bridge pickup & Dunlop Dual Design Straplok System.

My next modification will be the tuning pegs. I've been thinking to upgrade to Sperzel locking tuners.

"Sperzel's unique design and precise manufacturing tolerances eliminate shaft wobble, backlash, and end-play, greatly reducing your guitar's tuning problems. The housing extends further up the shaft, with the bushing threads on the outside, keeping the shaft solid as a rock."

I've just ordered the Dunlop Straplok Flush Mount system for my SX Cobra project guitar.

The Dunlop Straplok® System is the strap retainer designed with the artist in mind. 360º groove and ball design allows the unit to rotate without catching. The case hardened steel skin guarantees long life.

"The Dunlop Straplok® System is the strap retainer designed with the artist in mind. 360º groove and ball design allows the unit to rotate without catching. The case hardened steel skin guarantees long life. The same strap can be used with several guitars, as the strap button is interchangeable. Release tested up to 800 lbs. of pull. It will not come loose. Set (2 units for instrument and strap) adapts to instrument by replacing existing strap pins / screws with special Straplok® System buttons / screws. Two strap attachments are included for your strap. Available in 4 finishes & 4 button styles."

I'll get The Duncan JB Jr. pickup next month. For the tuning pegs, I haven't decide any model yet.
