So i was given a shitty Digitech RP 3000A multi-effects processer thing last march. and it just basically gather dust, until i noticed a coworker of mine had a smaller one he gigged with, i told him about it and he offer to trade me for this piece of awesomeness:

Let the questions begin

That actually looks pretty cool dude.

Yeah i like it, it sounds pretty cool for mini humbuckers, i guess its just a different sound than my single coil guitars i favor. It's unique. I'm gonna buy deadpenny lefty usa maple strat neck and put it on there. I also don't like the US army log or the gold hardware. Lutenit Dan, is it's current name and the Israel coin is because the guy who made it is a jew

I'm gonna get a new bridge, and chrome hardware, then i think i'll like it more, it was a squire once in it's life

black + anodized = <3

are you left handed ?

i'd ditch the gold hardware and put some chrome on there too

3 mini buckers, what's under the hood?

Mr Mustache · Post by **Mr Mustache** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:14 pm

he told me he thought they were Epi min humbuckers, but he could remember since he's a stoner and he made the guitar a few years ago.

i don't know if they are Epi or not, I don't know what model Epiphone of he could of gotten 3 off of. I've yet to look under the hood myself.

Epiphone made a Firebird that had three minihumbuckers. I wish I never got rid of mine.

Nice. It looks really cool with the mini humbuckers.

What's the coin of? That guitar looks balltastic...

Mr Mustache · Post by **Mr Mustache** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:02 am

wow i didn't know epiphone ever put out a firebird with 3 mini humbuckers

Thanks guys, i really like it. The mini hums alone make it unique, but the gold guard proably make it one of a kind since they guy's dad is a machinist he cut the guard for the mini hums.

The coin on the headstock is some Israeli coin. i guess he put it there because he's jewish. the coin looking thing on the pickuguard is some army crap, it's going tomorrow.

It's a Shekel.

What pickups are those?

Richard · Post by **Richard** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:05 am

They're mini humbuckers. Probably from an Epiphone Firebird.

Mr Mustache · Post by **Mr Mustache** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:07 am

apparently they are Epiphone Mini humbuckers. I'll be diving into the guts tomorrow it to see what's really going on.

i might also see how the gold guard it looks on my Surf Green strat

Yea the army one is awkward... I've seen those made to be placed on the bottom of a baton... But, this guitar is no baton. Tha's really tight, tho, that you have this crazy pece of work.

Mr Mustache · Post by **Mr Mustache** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:55 am

yeah the army thing doesn't fit the type of person i am at all. so i'll just have to come up with some kind of cool switch or pot that does something really odd and put it there.

It's defiantly cool, but i want that lefty maple neck so much now
