One of the guys at js.com made a guard from record vinyl...

eeech.

while a cool idea couldn't he have found a better colour?

that's a limited edition 12" of 'oh the guilt', i believe.



not really.

Nice idea, nice execution. Not so easy on the eye, though...

I did it on my Jagmaster years ago. It's nice to work with, because it softens in hot water and is very shapable and cuttable. I thought about making other things out of it but didn't.

Haha, i like that paul, it looks fucked up.

Oh, that Metal Literature came in the post yesterday. thanks dude, i'll give it a read

That was the thinking. Nice and ugly looking.

That's pretty funky. I bet it makes some noise when your pick hits it, like a guitar with a wash board.

It really does on the Jagmaster, because of the big swimming pool route. Also, I think vinyl is harder than whatever the original material was, and it's a lot clickier.

I've seen pictures of Kurt playing an old walnut mustang back in the 80's that had a vinyl picguard.

What if you could devise some kind of phono needle that could feed into your guitar and then scratch the record while you play? AEN! Get to work, you mad, impetuous fool.

DOAP.

The Tele that Jason Everman is playing on the cover of Bleach has a vinyl record pg too.

christ, lol. i always wondered what that was.

That's a North drumkit with fluted fibreglass shells that Chad Channing is playing, those things are the quintessential POWER ROCK 70's/80's drums, no reso heads even if you wanted to and they go BOOM, all attack but with a lot of body too, very gate-ish Phil Collins type stuff.
They look so horrendous and sound so cheesy (the toms sound like they should be preceded by a saucy line from Eastenders) but I find them interesting, they're like the drumkit equivalent of a superstrat, but they're so one-trick they had no chance of surviving.
I remember reading in Azzerad's book something to the effect of Cobain and Novoselic begging him to get rid of it for months and having to go and buy/piece together a cheap kit to pry him away from it.




the snare



kurt included them in this drawing, along with his hi-flyer and chris's ibanez black eagle.
