Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2023 9:17 pm
I just bought an HMV Exhibition Model converted to EMG Usage. It wasn't so expensive and also it looks interesting, so I bought it.

Yes, I bought this one from this seller. It was not so expensive and it just looks nice and interesting. I will test it as soon as it arrives here in the US.poodling around wrote: Sun Sep 24, 2023 7:23 am I think that this was the ebay item:

(I hope it is okay to link to it).
I think this seller has created a few versions of this in the past and I must admit each time I have been very tempted to buy one. I would also have bought this one but I am spending my money 'else-where' at the moment. To me they look extremely well made and of course are 'one off's'.
When you receive it I would be very interested to know what you think of it and if you can, maybe you could post a video ?
A great item I think.
Yes, I correspond with Martin Herrick from time to time, clever chap, and he has converted several of these. In a very similar way so has Alex Kirtley (member here on the TMF) with great success.poodling around wrote: Sun Sep 24, 2023 7:23 am I think that this was the ebay item:

Roughly speaking, adapted them to use EMG-type springs, and added a Wright back.chunnybh wrote: Mon Sep 25, 2023 1:54 amPlease explainYes, I correspond with Martin Herrick from time to time, clever chap, and he has converted several of these.
