I bought the most scratched up ugly guitar ever.

Post by Thomas »

► Show Spoiler
Though truth be told I only snagged it for the pickups. It had a SD Custom Custom at the bridge and a SD '59 in the neck. They were wired in totally wrong so they were putting along in single coil mode. I rewired it to see how they sound beforen taking them out and they're not a dissapointment. It plays shockingly well for an Epiphone too. I noticed that it had been given the relic treatment so I asked the dude why he did it and he said:

"umm...to.look edgy." Then he looked away with a hangdog expression on his mug. Fair play to him, I quite like the mashed in look.

The pups will be going in the HH Jag or my SG, I'll have to try them in both to see what I prefer. He also gave me the stock pups for the guitar so I'll probably pop 'em back in and use it for drunken party jamming or give it to the other halfs lil bro. Y'know, to keep him edgy.

When I first got it I hated it but it has grown on me. It's hard to capture it properly because it's black. I'm tempted to Fiend the headstock. I should have a sticker somewhere, if not I'll paint it.

I have no idea what the nut width is etc. It's a bit of a beast and that's all I could ask for.

On a side note, it's not too different freom a Gibson Sg sound-wise though it's not anywhere near as good as far as biuld/suatain etc goes, but it was a tiny fraction of the cost.

I think i might leave the pups in there so I have the OG ones to give out. Freebies go in a karma order, they're not the best but if you need some Hummers drop me a pm.

iz no iommi'z! iz g-310. the iommi sig would have cross inlays, the g400 would have hexagon inlays, and the sg special wouldnt have a pickguard.

really nice one was on the 'bay recently. If I take the pups out you're welcome to the carcass if you want it.
