The red Washburn came like yours, I got the tuners, bridge, and pickups from GuitarFetish and the pickup rings and backplate from Amazon. All-in it was probably ~ $150.
I've got most everything I need except for the bridge, because I'm not sure which one to order for that Particular guitar. It appears from photos to be a regular import strat type, but I wasn't sure if the dimensions are the same.
Th body has the swimming pool rout, so it will be easy to make a pickguard and put in the p-90s.
Do you still Have that yamaha eg-112?
Maybe you could give the measurement for the E-E string spacing, I can figure it out from there and order one.
It would be appreciated.

I enjoy that too, but not enough to consider it a hobby

Lotsa good stuff on here from you guys. A veritable wealth of info. I have varied interests and have friends that way, but you all always provide valuable new info.
My hobbies have varied over time, and some actually ceased since I moved to our foreclosed farm.
Before then:
Mountainbiking - single track riding and even some racing, rode 2-3 times weekly around Richmond (has some of the best urban trails anywhere), rode in WV, PA, MD, NC, CO, CA, NV,NY,TN, TX and outside US.
Paddling…whitewater all over VA, PA, NC, TN. Did this more when I was younger, still have a nice shortass playboat.
Running - lots of races, training, usually bc other people wanted to do it. I have so many, many tshirts.
Various other outdoor stuff, mostly seasonal, not serious time suckers: fishing/boating, riding ATVs, hunting, shooting.
Working on old cars, still got my high school car.
Then the intellectual stuff…being in IT theres always something to learn, like how I worked my way through a deep course in C# a few years back. But I always like learning new tech stuff and actually taught parttime at the adult level. Love to read, reading 2-3 things, currently including "Lone Star: History of Texas" which I highly recommend.
Since buying the farm, I've been too busy fixing up the place to do most of the above. BUT…that’s about to change as I'm gonna retire this year.
But I still I do manage to enjoy fishing in my fishpond and sitting in the deerstand, and mindlessly cleaning my guns while watching some LSU game in the shop.
But out of this thread I did learn something that I'll look at ASAP in a Linux-based Plex server as I expand my Starlink rural interwebs setup. So thanks all.

I fly a very nice drone FPV(first person view-using goggles). The camera streams what you point it at onto the screen of the goggles.It's awesome when you get up to 300-400 ft and look into the distance and see something and then just take off and go to what you saw and check it out.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen with the drone?

Reading about WW2 history especially the Pacific theater
Listening to 1940s music, Texas country, and classic rock

I like to distill. I have some rum on age right now for 2.5 years. Will test and see if it is ready at age 3. Next project is brandies. I know banana should come out really good but I want to experiment with pomegranate.

Life changing. The mental part is hard, because of some rigid habits and dependencies. But life is totally different once you master it. Stress is almost non existent.

I can’t become a true minimalist and probably don’t want to but we as a family are complete opposites of it now. We need to pair down. A have a decent bit of complexity in life due to work so I need my personal life to be simpler. I’ve been deep decluttering my house. I’ve paired down my clothes over the past week and it feels great.
