So tonight I dug deep into the spare bedroom to unearth a much neglected SE One that I bought a couple of years ago for about eighty quid. To be honest I was digging it out to get rid. I honestly think it is a year since I have touched it.
Before setting it down on the sofa to take pics I did what you do. I had a little play.
and remembered why I jumped at the chance to buy it!
So time for a bit of tlc . I'm thinking new pickup, pot, tuners and nut. Any one played around with one of these?
i'm toying with having it pinstriped, but I do like the current colourscheme of none more black. And that matches my incoming mij tele...
So, would be interested to hear experience/ideas/recommendations
cheers!

I learned to use the pots properly by playing a Jr & can't imagine why you'd have a single P90 & no tone control.
On the pickup front- OilCity Jin-go is the best sounding P90 I've ever heard
Also changed the tone pot to a push-push to split the pickups.
[1] The current one requires an occasional tiny sprinkle of graphite powder to stop the G string sticking and feels slightly soft to the point where I wonder if something better might make open strings ring out a little more and sustain a little better.
Another +1 for the Nantucket , I have one currently residing in my Raygun "junior". http://i63.tinypic.com/i52ir7.jpg
