brentrocks Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 So I had the bright idea to take a H150 and turn it into a Silverburst. I'v always been a big fan of the Silverburst finsh...most people either love it or hate it. I started with a black 2019 H150 that i picked up used...in really decent condition. 9lbs, 5oz. Medium beefy neck. Then you insert the lead finisher for the Heritage Custom Shop, Dave Teski, who I hired to add a middle humbucker and re finish the top in tradition Silverburst. He did a great job! I wired and assembled the 150 today. I put a Duncan Antiquity in the neck, Duncan 59 in the middle and a Duncan Seth Lover in the bridge. I used the factory Pinnacle locking bridge and tailpiece. Its a really fun guitar to play. Sounds great too! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoslate Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Not a fan of Silverburst (though I know you are, Brent), but I must say, superb job!! Hell...even I like that! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElChoad Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I love Silverburst. I have been trying to buy an '82 LP Custom from a friend of mine for 30 years. It's got a great yellowing effect. Nicely done, Brent! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skydog52 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Dave's the Man! Nicely done Brent. What's better than 2 pickups................3 pickups. Tone possibilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 @brentrocksThat really came out great. How are your pickup controls laid out? I had to have Ren talk to my guitar tech to get my 3-p'up 157 worked out the way I wanted. That resulted in a push-pull pot so I could get the traditional 'neck + bridge' tone, in addition to the 'neck only', 'bridge only and 'neck-middle-bridge' connection.

Yup…push pull bridge tone pot to activate the middle pickup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyv4 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 When I read about what you were planning to do, I cringed. After seeing the results, I find myself wanting a silver burst! With three pickups of course. I’d probably never use the middle one but it looks so cool. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernCanuck Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Does smoke come out of the middle pickup? Are you secretly Ace Frehley? S_C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
