Installing and Testing Lace Alumitone Humbuckers

So, the owner of this Destroyer replica managed to get hold of two used Lace Alumitone humbuckers (Chrome/Neck, Gold/Bridge) and wanted them installed. He also requested an electronics upgrade. A routine check revealed that both Alumitones were in working condition, as were the three-way toggle switch and output jack. Thus said, the only parts replaced were the stock pickups, mini pots and tone capacitor. Once all components had been wired in, a pickup tap test was carried out, and everything was found to be working as it should.
