Members heem6 Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 Actually got this guitar awhile back but I've been waiting to post until everything was finished and setup properly. This is a custom built guitar, the body was made and painted by Mitch @ KNE Guitars in California. Jim from Precision Guitars in Phoenix did the final setup and levelled, crowned and polished the frets. I got the idea after playing one of the new Charvels. This is a sort of San Dimas replica, with a neck alledgedly made by the same factory in Korea that used to make the import Jackson's before they sold to Fender. It's got twin Seymour Duncan JB's - one in the bridge and one in the neck. I have it specially wired with no selector switch and no tone knob, just two volumes that can work independently or mix the two pickups in any amount wanted. It's got a flush-mounted Gotoh Floyd Rose, which I picked because it has a solid brass block for better sustain and tone. It's also very finely machined. It plays like a dream and sounds the best of any of my guitars! And here's a quick and dirty sound clip I made of it: http://media.putfile.com/San-Dimas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreatDane Posted March 14, 2007 Members Share Posted March 14, 2007 sweet guitar. what's the headstock look like (out of curiousity)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heem6 Posted March 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi and thanks guys! Here's a pic of the jackson-style reverse headstock. I put the slotted locking nut screws on it that can be opened with a penny. It's also got the allen wrench holder on the back. And a decal of my name on it. It's a 1 5/8" neck, which I like better - but isn't available from a stock Jackson. I especially got a kick out of the Spinal Tap reference: "You ask yourself how much more black could it be, and the answer is none .... none more black."
