Let's see your GUITAR!

[Helter]

That Hi-Flier makes me long for one of these...

Hopefully it doesnt arrive in the condition that my Ampeg V4 did. Otherwise i'll be returning both of them.

What's the story with the V4??

mmmmm I almost wish these didn't exist

Did this quickly before afternoon class today, i plan on cutting my own wood pguards and using glue and ironing next time. This one is held together with tape and it's pretty bumpy, because it was so fucking hard to get the fabric to stay down and tight without any tools or weights.
Also you can't tell from this angle but the purple parts on the fabric change to turquoise.
Hoping I don't tear it up the first time i play it live haha

^^Pickguard looks great, I like it a lot.


Rewired my baritone jazzy for stereo tonight:



Dual ganged pots are a pain in the ass to solder, as is not being able to ground to the backs of them. Also I dropped a soldering iron on my arm because I'm an idiot. But it works. Mono output still intact. In stereo the behind the bridge pickup can be switched on in series with the bridge output. It still works on the mono out too and I blame needing a 3PDT in there for the kind of messy wiring. Used different tone caps for each pickup so more treble is rolled off on the bridge pickup. Got to find new knobs now because my old ones don't fit.

Dude that baritone jazzy looks neat! Love the behind-the-bridge pickup

Be sure to post a full body shot when you get some new knobs!

The fabric pickguard looks great!

They really really are. Love the stereo outputs and behind the bridge pickup, that guitar must sound amazing!

DUDE. That's rad. Seriously rad.
How does the behind the bridge pickup affect the sound(s)?

It makes all that ringing behind the bridge quite a bit louder. Also playing loud with some good fuzz the feedback it makes while I'm still playing normally is really cool

that pickup is a great design. ive thought about putting a pickup back there but the mechanism i had in mind would hold the pickup over the strings and probably end up looking like a monstrous thing.

Achtane did that once, but behind the nut on a bass VI. It looked rad.

indeed. All you need is a torch, vise, hammer and disregard for aesthetics. Open notes are loud, fretted notes sound like fully wet reverb, although it's really quiet so what I really need is a few more cables. it'd be fun to run the nut pickup into the Blowing Up and then a pitch shifter or something...

For my next trick, I'll add another bridge at the very back for White Eagle action.

^^^ Nice. Is that a Traditional? Love those....

That cloth pickguard on that Jag is badass! I think Stripes did something similar a while back. And the pickups and electronics on that baritone Jazzy are insane! I bet that thing sounds great.

Traditional yes sir and my first Gibson. Thanks for commenting! I some day would like a collection of black Les Paul's
