I thought I would let you all witness my project. I decided to replace the aftermarket pickup on my FA 800 with a Kent Armstrong Handwound PAF. The existing PU is from a GB. It does have a good output but recently I've heard good guitars transformed to great guitars via the Kent Armstrong. Here is the existing setup:

Here are the new parts. Benedetto Ebony pickguard (he calls it a finger rest) and an ebony volume knob and the pickup. I will try to use the same hardware.

Aside from the obvious changes, I plan to mount the PU under the pickguard rather that the bracket on the neck. I should mention that I will not be doing the installation. I'm leaving this one up to a professional. I'll stick with the under pickguard output jack.

I am making before and after recordings, I'll post the with the after pics.
