[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 251761, member: 9240"] The color inside the screw heads was a bit of a surprise - a weird artifact from the light I used. It's got to have something to do with the lack of corrosion because I get the same type of effect on the "TV Jones" lettering on the pickup cover. The guitar is a 10 year old Epiphone SG Custom copy that has more invested in the electronics than in the guitar itself, which wasn't that much. I replaced the 3 dreary humbuckers with 3 TV Jones Filtertrons and it's a twang monster, but you'd never know it looking at it. Thanks. I'm not one of those who believe that screw heads on the pole pieces have a direct effect on tonality, but there are folks who will argue it for days. Mine are set for balance across the strings, which is something I [I]can[/I] hear. LOL Acoustics, electrics, basses, ukeleles, mandolins, resonators... I've had or have just about anything with strings at some point. It was my habit before I picked up a camera, one I've had since I was aged in single digits. [/QUOTE]
