i haven't posted one of these in a while but i took this about 2 weeks ago and 1 is already gone lol, the jag is being replaced by bubbles' bronco


P.S. the Les Paul is my roomates

I finally consider this Hagstrom with internal GK kit finished. This used to be black and had an external GK wart, and a nasty hot bridge pickup. I shimmed the neck and discovered the synth pickup mount was draining the mojo arrows from the t-o-m and killing sustain. Had to cut a couple of screws on the mount shorter cos they were resting on the scratchplate and also grounded the bridge with a wire to one of the posts.

Neck pickup is expensive SD lipstick for strat thing that sounds awesome. Bridge pickup is plain Japanese strat bridge pickup which is exactly what was needed.

edit: This guitar was a complete fucking basket case when I got it- just a neck and body with no hardware, battered to fuck and the paint was a write-off.
DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR VINTAGE GUITAR!

It's surf green. Bitch.

terrible shots, the colours look awful, especially the supernova and les paul, plus there is an sx sjm and "other project" in the works.

Here's my shit right now. The Squier II Strat on the left is my first guitar ever. Right now it's drying in my basement. I've decided to repaint it.

Is that a Musicman amp?

yes, RD 100. its nice, you can switch it from 65 to 100 watts

ok this is my stuff, and it should be pretty much staying this way for a while as im hopefully buying a house in the next xouple of months and wont be able to afford anything ever again :p hehehhe

i got the red jaguar in the top of the photo last week and i friggin love it.
then it goes 66mustangstang/duosonic,telestrat,65 musicmaster2,tele,squier strat,cij 72 reissue strat(on floor),cort katana,tele copy,yamaha rgx,70's tele deluxe copy,and jagstang on the floor

At the moment this is my main squeeze:



(97 Epiphone Sheraton, MIK, stock)

but I am looking for a Jag!

Hi all! I thought it'd be right to have my first post in the show your guitars thread so here they are.



my '69 reissue. I got it on ebay for 370$ and it is my first (and only) shortscale.



2006 Les Paul Vintage Mahogany. unlike the VH's made today (which weigh less than an SG i think), this one actually has the weight of an LP.



my newest addition, a Squier '51. did sound very trebly, but i put some 11's on it now its amazing.



'95 MIM p-bass. bought for 200$



Epiphone FT-130 Caballero. my grandpa gave this to me and it has horrible action (bolt on neck)



My first guitar, an Epiphone Special II. modded. its unevenly sanded with a light wood stain. and it just has a humbucker with a coil splitter. its ugly.



here they all are.

welcome dude.

Welcome.

I love your first 2 guitars. That Stang and LP are sick.

My first guitar was one of those LP Specials also. actually it's currently sitting in pieces at my dad's house. how did you ever get the finish off though? it's crazy thick. and is it plywood?

Yeah, the body is plywood and only has the light weight thing going for it. I was able to get 99% of the finish off in like...10 hours total using a belt sander and some crazy rough sandpaper my dad had in the garage.

The only unique thing about it is i left the pickup selector on and there is only 1 pickup. I thought it would work as a kill switch. It didn't, though it does act as a "quiet" switch making it quieter and reducing the gain, which is actually very useful.

you could wire it like an esquire. treble cut/pre-set treble cut/full on



even though, on that guitar, treble cut would be kind of useless, bass cut would be more like it. not sure how to wire that though. maybe try a vari-tone type circuit, heh
