shook494 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I just wanted to make it easier for you guys to see...... OK. I installed the following. Tonepros bridge and stop tail. Rio Grande BBQ bucker in the bridge and TX in the neck. Amber switch tip. New 3 way toggle switch. New pickup rings. I don't like these and I ordered some better ones. Built for JW Usserry with his signature. Pretty cool. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/upgraded1502.jpg[/img] Before http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/97-150CM5.jpg[/img] After all the good stuff was added. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/upgraded1504.jpg[/img] http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/upgraded1506.jpg[/img] http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/upgraded1505.jpg[/img] http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/upgraded1507.jpg[/img] http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll186/shook494/upgraded150.jpg[/img] I hope this is cool for now. I just restrung it and got her intonation right. It plays great! What a difference. I never tried Rio Grande before. I like them a lot! It sounds amazing! I wish you guys could hear it ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Bird Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The new rings look a lot better. I like the uncovered pups too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslate Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well done, shook! Looks great...and I do wish I could hear (and play) it. That piece has all the earmarks of a Player! First time you take it out for a spank, and the boys drool all over it, tell me whether or not the lack of traps makes any difference! LOVE that top! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 you did good!! that is a killer 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shook494 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks! I can't put it down right now. It sounds sooooo much different than my other one. I know it's the pickups and all, but damn. This is the exact bluesy sound I was looking for lately. It sounds awesome through my 67' Fender Deluxe Reverb!

shook494 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Rio Grande BBQ in the bridge and a Texas in the neck. Very nice. I got them on the Warmoth site for a good deal as a set. Thanks for the compliment!! I'm very happy with how it turned out. I got the original case in the auction too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shook494 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks Yoslate! It's way better in person. The different light makes it look cool. It's cured my G.A.S. for the time being ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slider313 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Shook that one good looking guitar and if it sounds as good, or better, than it looks then you hit a home run !! I could live with the dots as long as she sings the blues when you plug her in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
