Please remove if my edit is not in the correct space. I know that Karl wrote this blurb, but I wanted to note the middle pickups change.

This Stratocaster was purchased new by Jason, and heavily modified, with a new neck, a roller nut, and new pickups, a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge, a hot-rails strat pickup in the middle, and a DiMarzio Humbucker from Hell in the neck. The Humbucker from Hell had a coil tap wired to it, which when engaged, would make the pickup sound thinner, on an already weak output humbucker. This made the tone completely clean even through a high-gain, metal amp, without having to step on a distortion pedal or anything like that. | This Stratocaster was purchased new by Jason, and heavily modified, with a new neck, a roller nut, and new pickups, a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge, a hot-rails strat pickup in the middle, and a DiMarzio Humbucker from Hell in the neck.

It’s worth noting that,sometime during 1993, the middle pickup was replaced by a Telecaster’s neck pickup. This may have come from Rivers’ Telecaster, now given to Jason. | |||
Additionally, Jason had painted the guitar in a psychedelic paint scheme with thick acrylic paint, and replaced the volume knobs with 20-sided D&D dice. The dice knobs eventually fell off, but one was saved by Karl. | Additionally, Jason had painted the guitar in a psychedelic paint scheme with thick acrylic paint, and replaced the volume knobs with 20-sided D&D dice.
