Gitfiddler Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nice look. That's part of the fun of guitar ownership...mods! Keyboardists and Horn players are stuck with only one look. BORING! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 What a looker, Shook494! I dig the new stop tail and switch tip, but I dug the black pickup rings, PG, and speed knobs. I don't think there is any wrong answer on that guitar, though. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get by that, by all means its wonderful. The removal of that Schaller tailpiece is a major aesthetic improvement in my opinion. I did that with my 2000 H150.

big bob Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Find a crayon that is a similar amber to the top and melt just a drop into the screw hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shook494 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Looks great. I was thinking about changing out my pickup rings to cream... Where did you get the pickup rings from? Sam Ash. The rings are just plain old Gibson rings. They are around $12 I think? Quick and easy change. Tha Schaller pups have a center screw hole that lines up perfectly.
