Stagemaster Morelloz conversion

Post by h8mtv »

I scored this Stagemaster a few weeks ago for $125 in this condition. I have never owned a guitar with a locking trem before. I have always wanted a Tom Morello type noise maker to play with tho, and it was cheap enough despite the dreadful ghost flames.

I dropped some casting resin into the old selector switch holes and routed out a LP style toggle hole. I did a minimal masking job and shot the top with some flat black Krylon. If I ever decide to cut my hair into a mullet I can always strip the black off and restore the original charm.

I just traded a stompie build for a set of EMG 81/85 Wylde pups but right now I have a bridge pup from a nice old Japanese strat I parted out a bit back and the neck pickup from a Jackson that got abandoned here. Honestly the set sounds so good I dont know that I'll change them. Just wired up for dual volume, no tone.
