May 5: Gubbins

It's been in a pile of bits for a few years, but today I've spent the afternoon rewiring the Stratocaster. On the outside it looks stock. On the inside I've got new upgraded pickups, a push/pull switch for 'neck pickup on', split tone circuits with different cap values, second tone control now operates bridge and middle pickups, plus it has a full shielding job and a nifty quick release wiring system. Great to have it all back together again and with it's modifications it sounds fab.

Canon PowerShot G7
1/60s f/4.0 at 7.4mm full exif

Great! Yeah, Ray, I had to look "gubbins" up...

I always assumed the word 'Gubbins' was a relative newcomer to the language, maybe coined by servicemen or something. However, it apparently dates from about 1553 in print, but is not in use by Americans.
It's a great word!
