Battery box for Eclipse?
Battery box for Eclipse?
I'm not concerned about the effort it takes to turn the 6 screws, it's the wear and tear the wood screws will do to the body. If you do it enough times then the wood screws will eventually strip and you'll need to use wood filler to repair it.
I also play my guitar a lot so I suspect I will need to change batteries 3-4 times a year.
Yeah I really don't know how long the 9v battery will last. I've always had passive pickups before this one; my previous guitar for the last 3 years was a standard eclipse with JB/59's. The tech at the music store said the batteries would last around 3 months, so that means about 4 a year.
At any rate, I like to tinker with my stuff and as WildeStarr said in post 4 it's a cool project.
I'm going to give it a go after the holidays and post pics after it's done.
battery needs to be changed around once a year, is it really worth all this effort vs unscrewing 4 screws?!
