Let's see your GUITAR!

This weird ass Fender shredder has been my number 1 forever. I just put in the bridge single coil cause humbuckers fucking suck! I pulled it from a cheap peavey strat and it sounds awesome.

3 single coils and a floyd! DOPE!

want to see more pics, headstock and things of that nature

Coming up!



I'm actually not a big fan of the floyd but I have learned to live with it. Sadly the screw for the bar is worn down so much it has a bit to travel before it grabs the vibrato. I love how flat it is though and that you can easily set it for ludicrous action. I think the model actually is from some company Fender owned that made guitars that was like jems and kramers, I dont think they made bursts at all though and the pickguard is not the same. I think the only time I found one like this online it was on some spanish sales site. It is really cool though, if you compare it to a real strat it is way more offset

Shamelessly spamming this 'cause I finally have a music setup again!

The left one's a 60's Decca(which I think is really just Teisco) featuring the 30" scale bass neck from my doubleneck monstrosity. The right is a 1965 Harmony Archtone with, again, that guitar's salvaged pickup. Sounds cool tuned to B-F#-B-E-F#-C. It's getting a cheap Bigsby copy for the gaaaaaaaaze.

Looks like a Guyatone. Either way though:

[dubkitty]

definitely some Guyatone DNA there.

Back on an SG - just works for me. 120th Anni Standard, stock except robot tuners replaced with Klusons.

[hbombgraphics]

I can't imagine an SG with robot tuners, did they make the headstock even more off balance?

[Zounds Perspex]

ha, i was wrong - this particular model came with Klusons - I guess the 120 annis were the only SGs that year that didn't have robot tuners.
previous owner did put 57 Classics in, though - I thought those were stock with the annis, but naw - 490T and 490R were standard.

My new JM/HBomb's old JM after a set up and a guard swap (sorry dude, that pink wasn't gonna last long).

Rad. I've always liked the white 'n gold look on a Jazzmasters.

My "totally a legit $27 Bigsby" arrived today!

I'm shocked at how well it works and at its overall construction. I ran the strings over the front roller and it somehow manages to stay in tune better than any other vibrato I've messed with.
Other stuff I did:
-Filed down the posts that the string ball ends thread onto 'cause they were contacting the guitar
-Filed away the raised part that keeps the arm from swinging in either direction
-Cut a couple of coils off of the spring to stiffen it a little and then shimmed it up a bit.
It's a gaze machine now.

That’s great! Do you have a link to these “Bigsby’s?”
