When you had controls on there how did that dimarzio pickup sound in it? I've been considering swapping a new pickup into my MIA p bass. I have experience with the Seymour Duncan 1/4 pounder and I like that pickup, but I wanted to see what the dimarzios had to offer too.

It's never had controls and the dimarzio la, i could never be arsed fitting them. Based on the everything full sound it should be reet though!

Yay, a "new" Fernandes!

took these with my cell phone this morning. natural light is the best everrrrrrrrrrr

Are those GFS Jazzmasters as good as they look? I always find myself staring at them on their site, but I keep thinking I should just get a "real" one. I already have a cij jazzmaster, how do those GFS ones compare?

edit: I know I should search, but I was just hoping for a quick answer

Fuck man, why's yo shit so tight?! That is fucking ace.

thing plays great. i love the pickups. strat neck was dropped right in with zero issues. its a little lighter in weight than my AVRI jaguar. that things a bitch after playing for an hour.

Classic 60's Telecaster (with white pick guard instead of mint green)




Gibson SG Standard




Standard HSS Strat in candy apple red.




LTD Viper 400 (EMG 81/85 swapped out for Seymour Duncan JB/59, all black chrome hardware replaced with chrome)




Maton M225




Yasuma Hummingbird (70's Japanese Martin copy)

oooooh, that yasuma is really nice. is it a 000 or 00 copy? crazy color, and odd pickguard. how do you like it?

i was just wondering yesterday if there were any 000 copies, specifically mahogany.

and that bound neck would appear to be titties.

I don't actually know much about the Yasuma to be honest. There's review of other models on HC etc. but this is about the only info I've found about this one:



It's not exactly the same as mine though, the bridge is different, there's no neck binding and the truss rod on mine isn't adjustable from the head stock.

These days it's not that great to play, as the body has bowed a bit over time, so it either needs to have the bridge shaved down or the neck reset (probably the latter). It does have a nice deep sound to it though.

Here my redone Gordon Smith Gypsy2 from the 80ies..it had a Kahler trem, which was removed and filled, then a Schaller Badass installed. Honduran mahagony, fretboard looks like brazilian rosewood..



the other one is a Special DC built from a kit ( PGK, Canada)

Got the Tele in yesterday and really like it a lot. It's a '69 RI Thinline. Might eventually replace the pick guard with a black one.




With its friend, Bullety:

Lyon by washburn acoustic, Gibson LP special, Fretking Esprit 5, Gordon Smith GS1, Stagg Uke and Squier Musicmaster bass.

One day I will get around to reassembling my bass and hopefully swap it with one of you wonderful people for a squier tele.

Edit- jamba love your gypsy, I didn't even know about Gordon Smith until I picked up my GS1, now I am a total fanboy, nice guitar you got there.

Fender Sonoran, Epiphone Korina Expolrer (set neck and bloody awesome, Gibson SG limited ed and Japanese Jazzmaster. I forgot the little strat.

DO want ur SG....

Me too. That's a gorgeous colour. Does it have a more specific name?

WOW nice SG is NICE.

The colour is 'Teal'.

Cos it's Gibson it has a stupid name: Teal "flip-flop". Very close to OTM, it's a really good finnish. It looks bluish/green depending on the viewing angle. I don't play I much so it might go out for trade for a Jazzie or something.

My axes... AVRI 70s Strat, SG Special, Tele CV50s, Epi PR100/VS acoustic.
Hopefully family will get some offset member soon.

MAPLE!
