Members Malcolm Ramone Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yes, it's Korean, but it's not any of the likely suspects. Actually, I have no idea what it is, besides that it has the usual Teisco/Kawai/Harmony cheap hardware. Looks like a Gibson Ripper, thought that was neat, so I bought it. *Note, ebay pics, not my duck! It plays, but needs tweaking, a new nut, and seems to have missing springs on the rear pickup. Pretty sure those are single coils hiding in HB suits, which I've seen before, sure sound like it! Only downside is the pickguard has some heat warping, and no pu selector, jut 2 volumes. Such are sub $100 guitars though! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members undergod12 Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 HNGD! Those old Harmony-esque guitars usually do absolutely nothing for me but this one is hot. Would. Are you up for modding it? Since it doesn't have a PU selector, if you drilled a hole through the side and added a jack plate, you could put the tone control where the jack currently is and the 3-way where the 'lower' volume is.

Members elvisart Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Used to have one of those, modded the {censored} out of it and was a fun guitar to play. Body is kinda thin so it felt too light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hells yeah, I'm all about the mods! Can't see it in those pics, but the guard is warped pretty badly around the pups, so I'll eventually buy a blank and make a new one, and add a 3 way switch, and a better bridge at the least! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
