    I’ve also got some hand scribbled schematics for the first run of EGs with Seymour Duncan pick ups too if anyone needs them!

    Kudos to Alex of Alegree pick ups for going the extra mile in 3d printing the fralin domino form factor before custom winding the pick up.

    That looks awesome I really didn't like the EG models when they were first released but I'd absolutely love one now.  

    I'd probably have kept the lampshade knobs on I really like them but apart from that I think it's great. I love the colour which blue is that?

    The colour is Baby Blue, a rare colour coz nobody liked it back in the 90s.
    The lampshades weren't correct for its age and I dislike them anyway, so they had to go..

    Well it looks great and you have me gassing for an EG now. Do you still have the lampshades or are they long gone? I'd buy them if you still have them.

    The lampshades are long gone .. style over substance in my books

    Just gave my EG II a once over with a view towards selling or trading it with a well-known hoarder on this forum.

     The vital part of any EG2 is missing from your guitar.. no Fralin Dominos

    That looks like it really means business. Very nice.

    I sold the Fralin-made "Domino" pickups because, in my opinion, they sucked major league cock.

    You are too kind. It only really looks business like when it has Gibson metal reflector control knobs and PRS Phase II locking machineheads. 

    With clean, new strings, the neck/middle in-between pickup selection has plenty of "cluck". The middle/bridge pair is slightly notch in a good way. The overall effect is beefed-up Fender rather than reduced PRS CE.
