Members CrackerD Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 Here's one of my fav gits. It's an alder undersized JM body, with USA Custom Guitars 24.75" neck with a sweet rosewood board and PW tuners. Tele bridge with GFS Dream180 and Dream90 neck. This has become my main player. I initially did not like the bridge pickup, however I am now really liking it after a year or so. Anyway, I added a pearl LP 'guard to match the pickups and knobs. I think I like it. Opinions??

Members Noak Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 I thought it was disgusting on the before pic, but with the pickguard it's actually kind of nice, so it's a clear improvement IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members niche773 Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 It looks good. The guitar seems plain without it. Thats cool how it matches the pickups, real nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vinhoff Posted October 17, 2007 Members Share Posted October 17, 2007 I like it alot has a very Reverand look to it, though if it were mine I would paint it sky blue and it would have a maple board. Any plans to put color on it? Either way shes a looker imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any plans to put color on it? Either way shes a looker imho. I was going to originally have Marty Bell spray it with a wacky bright green sparkle. However, money has been terribly tight this last year. so I just finished it with some truoil I had laying around. I agree a sky blue would look killer. I also thought about seafoam green. If I do decide to refinish it, I will probably go for a trans emerald green. Thanks for the opinions fellas. I probably have less then $350 invested in this project, for those that are interested.

Anybody who has kids and is a decent parent is a hero in my book. Don't know how you remain sane with the added stress of school.I've been working on my own business, so the guitars have taken a backseat. This place gives me too much gas, so I tend to lurk when broke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
