DetroitBlues Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I decided a Bigsby just wasn't good enough... So I hot rodded it some more... Pinstriped the Top Black Back the body Skull Cross Bones pickup covers, poker chip, and input jack plate Gibson E-Tune tuners. Routed for Floyd Rose Replaced nut with Floyd Rose Locking nut Sanded all the paint of the neck. Added some "relic" to the top. Added James Hatfield EMG's Oh ya, its a heavy metal machine now!!! Or maybe, I just put the regular tailpiece back on and removed the pickguard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm not much for the Skull and Crossbones poker chip. Maybe something in a gothic cross, which nice pointy bits to draw a touch of blood every time you switch pickups. Its not real metal until the blood starts flowing.

Vanschoyck Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I usually don't like that kind of stuff, but on that guitar it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Man, I paid a luthier to have the pick guard professionally installed. But it is your guitar....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle216 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I really like it without the pick guard. I generally prefer flame guitars without a pick guard on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billgelder Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Kuz called me and said "If you ever buy one of my guitars again you must promise me you will never sell it to Josh." I agreed to his terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Had me going too. Speaking of picguards... one time I reinstalled a pickguard after it had been removed by the previous owner. Drilled a hole right through the filled and refinished original hole spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
