AIRCRAFT/AC-5

2019.6.15: Sold to me in a private transaction.
I was intrigued by the hard to find pure front humbucker and the egregious bird's eye on the neck, lol.
I took apart and cleaned the bridge and found that 5 insert blocks were broken, so I replaced them with titanium ones that I was interested in.
The PU did not match any of the models I had heard of, and it looked like it had been used almost without adjustment.
This is the first time I've ever had one where the bridge had to be worn almost solid to get the correct string height.
June 25, 2019: Personally, I'm not happy with the white bobbin PU on this body color, and the front was F space for some reason, so I changed the switch for the humbucker from 2-way to 3-way on/off/on so I can get a pseudo 3S sound.
Originally, there were Dimarzio DP192F Air Zone/DP188 Pro Track/DP155F Tone Zone on it from the rear.
