Come on feel the noise - NGD

Hi all!
After years of wanting one and forgetting about it, I finally picked up a project Washburn A20. This is going to be a slow build. The original parts are very difficult to find. I have the tremolo but that is it. If anyone out there has (parts) or can point me in a direction on locating them, it would be greatly appreciated.

Whammy Parts dot com has all the parts for those Kahler systems. The rest of the parts that you need is basically a clean slate where you can just add in any of your choice of pickups, electronics and tuners. Probably best as you probably wouldn't want the original Washburn pickups that came with this.

From what I found. The original pickups were based off the Dimarzio super distortion. If I can, I would like to find the original nut and tuners. To your point, all the electronics will be new.

I had a Hondo Revival Flying V that I just sold. Had the same Kahler Tremelo and it also had the "so called" unstamped Dimarzio Super Distortion pickups in it. Pickups sounded good at low low volumes but in a loud environment, the cheap side of them became evident with massive feedback from being cheaply constructed. You can get the Kahler nut on Whammy Parts as well. Tuners, well seeing that you already have a locking tremolo, your choices are pretty open there as well.
