Members Blakemore Effects Posted July 29, 2009 Members Share Posted July 29, 2009 First off, I don't own this one yet, but I'm going to start piecing it together soon. Mark my words. This guitar will be in this thread some day soon! (Perhaps even with a Bigsby!) This used to be a MIM Strat, but I swapped the body out for a Highway 1 body a few years back (also added some Lindy Fralin pups), and it's gotten pretty beat up, so I guess this was my most natural aesthetic modification so far. God, I love how nitro finishes get destroyed so easy haha. I'm pretty proud of this one. It was a Jag HH special, and I ended up installing a Bigsby with the help of a vibramate sometime around Christmas last year, and I installed Seymour Duncan Phat Cats in it. It keeps making it's way closer to being my number 1 guitar. Then my personal favorite is my modded Squier Super-Sonic. I painted over the headstock, changed the tuners, swapped the pups out for a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck and JB in the bridge, added a silver competition stripe, and I installed the touchscreen from a Korg KP2 Kaoss Pad so that I can control the effect parameter's by using the touch screen on the body of the guitar. I would have to say this one is still my pride and joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blackhell Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 My Douglas (left), and my strat (right). I've kinda modded both of these.With the Strat I've put in a GFS pre-wired guard with pickups, I put graphtech saddles, nut, and string trees on it, it's had some fret work done to it, and it's had a trem-setter installed, plus Dunlop Strap-locks. I thinking of adding locking tuners next, and maybe a new trem.My Douglas doesn't have all that much work done, but I installed Graphtech saddles, and on the baseplate of trem it says BH, so I guess it is my own signature guitar. I'm thinking of putting new pickups in the Douglas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Belva Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 This is literally a dumpster find. Did the hardtail conversion, got a neck from USACG, some pups & a bridge from GFS and made a p/g out of formica. The rest, except paint, I had. Guess you could say it's modified a bit.

Members handen Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 Is the "tarnished" hardware wearing out underneath that knob revealing...shiny chrome? Yes, in this photo. I found some replacement cosmo black control plates from the same model guitar on eBay that weren't worn down and replaced the old ones since then though.

Members GuitarNoobie Posted July 30, 2009 Members Share Posted July 30, 2009 Post any modifications (pickguards, pickups, knobs, decals, stickers, refinishes, etc.) you've done to make your guitars look, play, and/or sound different from their stock incarnations! it would be much easier for me to post guitars that haven't had the changes you specify... this is the ONLY guitar I have not modded in one way or another... every other guitar I have every owned was modded in one of the ways you listed EDIT: And now that I posted this, I should mention I wanna put Classic 57 pups in this one EDIT2: oops, strap locks don't count, right? cuz this one has schallers on it...
