HGE Contraptions Wampler Triple Wreck Clone (without Cream) -3rd one - 128th pedal built!

* HGE Contraptions Wampler Triple Wreck Clone without the Cream part (I never cared for it). The enclosure was done like that by the owner. 3rd Triple Wreck built, and the 128th pedal built.
This and the BE-OD are my fav Od/Distortion in a box pedals. I'll try and make a video later this week.

Pickup fix for an Epiphone LP Standard Pro

* One coil from the bridge humbucker on this Epiphone LP Standard Pro was faulty. I tried to repair it but the coil was broken in two places(because it had a manufacturing error with some slack on the winding,it got caught in the upper rim in the wax, and when someone removed the cover, the coil broke).
So happens that I had an Ibanez premium humbucker with just one coil working also, and I used this good coil with the other LP coil and made one humbucker!It sounds great and it's even better now,because this new coil has much more output than the old one, and gives a nice bite to the guitar now. Very cool!Glad I could fix it in such a short time without ordering another humbucker which would of meant additional cost
