LTD Phoenix-200 | Bare Knuckle Pickups Upgrade

This is the tale of how an LTD Phoenix-200 was upgraded with a set of Bare Knuckle humbuckers. Although the neck and bridge humbuckers are visually identical, one can tell them apart from the name tag [Neck/Bridge] attached to each pickup cable. Besides the humbuckers, other upgrades included additional pickguard shielding, shielding ground tabs, Alpha A500K pots and Gavitt wiring. The upgraded Phoenix-200 was utilized in a Kombaticon Recording Session at RF MusicWorks Studio on February 4, 2023.
