GUITARS!!

[vonclod]

I was looking at a pedal steel in my local Long & McQuade, I always like pedal steel in a rock and roll song, liked Ken Greer from Red Rider, Lunatic Fringe kinda stuff.

Nice guitar. Kit's are cool. I almost bought a flying V kit a few years back. The one with gold hardware and the big 'V' bridge. I wish i would have bought it when I had a chance, now they are hard to find and expensive.


Here's a old Austin hatchet I found at a garage sale last year for $5.00 I did not know what it was at the time. I did lot's of research and asked around a lot. They where made in 1981 and they are very rare. It features neck through and string though body.

I had to put new tuners, electronics, truss rod cover. I painted it with color shifting paint also. I still need to make a back coverplate for it though.

That's a unique guitar! Are those Duncan Invader pickups? I like the finish it as a nice iridescence quality. Looks like it would play nice too. I have put together some of those kits in recent years for customers. I have found the wood and construction on the kits to be quite good however the hardware is typically subpar in my opinion. Which makes them almost as expensive as a manufactured guitar by the time you source the hardware and put it together and finish it. Although it is a very enriching experience to build a kit.

Thanks for the reply they are invader copies. They where cheap but imho just as good as the SDI. Seem to have good impedance and the punch of a actual invader. I had actual SD invaders on a older jackson guitar and they sound the same to me. I have a friend who got a SG style guitar kit and he said the same about the hardware especially the bridge and tuners.

Likely just as good as the Duncans without paying for the 'Name'. They are punchy pickups. I had a friend who put these on a cheap hollowbody when I was young. That guitar would just howl with feedback!!! I ended up replacing them for him and I kept the invaders. I still have them in a box somewhere. Too hot of a pickup for me!

Yea I play mostly heavy stuff and these have a nice growl to them. I really don't actually get much feedback from them though. I can tell they have been wax potted from the factory. probably why the don't get much feedback at all. Another really cool pickup by Semour Duncan is the Screamin Demon humbucker. Had a friend who had them on Ibanez RG. They sounded great. Also the specs on these Invader copies is in range of the real ones. The bridge pickup ohms out to 15.25 and the Neck is 7.84. So I'd say that's good right?

Yeah that would be about the right spec for those pickups. The Screamin Demon pickup was developed by Duncan with George Lynch to tailor to his sound. Great pickups and a great guitar player George Lynch. A very nice guy who is so down to earth and real easygoing. I play a lot of heavy stuff too but I am getting old and find myself heading to country and jazz when I play. That said my neighbors know when I'm in the mood to churn out the heavy riffs! Bombastic chords and crunch from hell!

Yea I like Lynch, I didnt mention that. Signature type pickups. I had a real nice Jackson King V with some Dimebuckers in it's another signature pickup, man did that thing chug and played like a dream too, nice action. I needed money at the time and had to sell him, still regret it. Yea I am 58 myself and I blues it up sometimes with a cheap but decent Grote semihollow myself. It's got that awesome long sustain too.

The Jackson King V's are hot guitars. I have a friend who is like everything Dimebag. He had several Dimebag model guitars. Jackson, Dean, and Washburn. He even has a Dimebucker in this Les Paul. Wicked pickups!

Wicked is a perfect description of them. Let me tell you those PU's where cool. They really picked up pinch harmonics in a very neat way too. Squealy, fuzzy and warm tone. I guess that's what they was designed for. Honestly I think they was above the invaders. I don't remember where they Dimarzio's or Seymours though?

Seymour Duncan SH 13 is the pickup. They are a lot hotter than Invaders. Dimebag used a pickup called the Sustaniac which is what they SH 13 is based off of.

Well that's odd. I looked into the SH 13 and that pickup has rails instead of poles? My dimbuckers had poles. Here's a pic of me with the King V in question. You can see the Semour printing on the neck PU, but not really the dimebucker part. But They did have either dimebags signature or it said dimebucker on them as well, it's been a long time but I remember them to be dimebuckers. I wonder what I had then? I bought the guitar with them already installed. Wish i had a better pic, this is from 2007 or 2008.

Yes the Dimebucker doesn't have polepieces. It is meant as a bridge pickup. His setup was a Dimenuckrr at the bridge and a Duncan 59 at the neck.

Yeah I have my eyes on a Sho-Bud I saw on Reverb.com. To me the coolest pedal steel guitar is the song by Waylon Jennings 'Rainy day woman' if you hear that song the steel guitar in that song rocks!
I'm old and my musical tastes started in the 70's with a lot if pedal steel guitar in songs back then. Country rock was everywhere back then.
However metal was my forte with guitar.
By the way the Only Fans comment in an ATS thread you left yesterday nearly made me piss myself!

From what i have researched everything you say is true. I do not remember any rails, too bad my pic is only from a old 1.2 MP cam and my hand is blocking the bridge PU. I always wanted rail PU's too for string bending and such. Ya know what i think is. This guitar had two neck position pickups. I got it used so who knows right? But i don't remember any rails and i do remember a signature or dimebucker on the pickups.

looking back it did have a odd sound too it. Maybe they did wire in two 59's and ran one out of phase? I go full bore with pickups. I like as many on as possible. Sometimes I do click into the bridge only, but I like both tbh.

Sorry. I was trying to reply via cellphone and it wasn't having it. If you are interested in railed humbuckers check out Bill Lawrence pickups. Fantastic pickups! I wanted to use them on my production guitars. I called and talked with Bill's wife and she said they were running behind. At the time it was just Bill and his wife running the business. I didn't want to wait so I went with my plan B. The DiMarzio's.

My Charvel

I missed the Charvel, she has some miles on her, scalloped too..nice! Like my Jackson, nothing too fancy, just straight up blunt force trauma!!

I love my Charvel! Its a brute alright. Yeah scalloped from the 12the fret. The body is cracked too.

Finally got around to it lol.

My Epi LP Standard (daily player), I call it 'The Butler', has a Full Shred SD pup at the bridge:



This is the latest one I'm finishing and putting together. I didn't build it though.

Gibson ES* knockoff. All of the hardware and electronics will be as close as possible to original (other than pups):

I like your resonator. I have one of those on my bucket list to get. Now I understand Les Pauls. Your is nice. I like that you removed the switch flange. It gives it understated elegance. I know they're heavy but damn I love a Les Paul! So I can see why its your go to. 
That 335 project looks like a fun time and you have a nice collection of hardware to go with it. What have you decided for the finish on the 335? If you even have Also, where did you pick that up? Thanks for adding to the thread!

Here's the plastic I have for it and the type of stain will be Cobalt Blue (waterbased), I showed a bottle that's the same but different hue. I might bleach the grain first.




I can't even get to the section of my shop that is devoted to my guitar crap. I got some major cleaning to do lmao. When I do I'll see what you think of some of my others!

I can't wait to see what you dig up! Like the pearloid too. When you get to putting that stain on, i know some methods which will really get the wood to pop from the stain. More than happy to share them with you if you want. Cobalt blue will be sick!

Nice axes Myke! I like the hollowbody project.

This is a BC Rich Dagger. I found at a pawnshop many years ago, paid a couple hun.  The finish is horrendous, I bought it figuring I would refinish it. I haven't played in years. This thread got me nostalgic though, so I dragged it out, cleaned the fretboard, dressed a few frets, polished the lot..it actually plays pretty good now.





Here's the last one, LTD/ESP 7 string Baritone, Stephen Carpenter model, great guitar, digs low, stays impeccably in tune. I think at this point, I would just as soon have a baritone 6 instead.



The amp is a PRS MT-15, it's switchable from 7-8 watts, to 15, I guess it just runs a single tube on half power. Cool thing about this lunchbox, is it uses 6l6 tubes, vs el84 that a lot of other lunchbox amp use. It's a nice amp, very transparent clean channel, and some good grit in lead.

Ask away! I'm already nuts according to some in my circle!!
