Are we talkin' pre Warner Bros. old...VH1 old, post VH1 old, or who-really-knows old?

seems like the kramer days when they made eds guitars to me - the red and white and black kramer he played

it is a 680p cap... i never heard of a .022k resistor though

yeah i know. it looked weird to me too. I have a friend who owns a T.D. Strat, and the resistor looks more like a cap to me. I should've measured it, but I didn't think of it then. From looking at it, I would think that would be a 22 ohm resistor. OH well....

I always thought Ed's pickups were rewound '50s PAFs, wound hotter (like J Page's bridge pickup).

Or so Edward said.

If I were to guess…his early rig was compiled of what was immediately affordable & available at the time. Various mismatched Marshalls & cabs, pickups, necks, bodies, pedals, etc. He was like us when we were teens…dead broke and simply trying to make it work. I can buy the P.A.F. story for the early days.

im just thinking if ed tore a part a strat and dropped a humbucker in its quite possible it had the cap and resistor in it like some strats do on that lone volume pot.
