Soda Jerk Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Will have this in the SG for my next gig. Yaldie. Mega. Really cool cover too. Never been a fan of their custom covers, but that one is totally neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfer_Rosa Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's a Showmaster that I'd picked up for pretty cheap a while back. When I got it there were two lipstick pickups in the neck and middle which sounded mince. So I managed to get hold of a couple of the mini versions of the Burns Tri-Sonics, which I'd been wanting to try for a while, to replace them. I'm keeping the cheapo GFS Retrotron in the bridge for now, since it sounds ok. It's really more of a standard humbucker in fancy clothing than a Filtertron replica though. But this was my first shot at soldering pickups or any modding at all really, so I'm pretty pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm all for 'road-worn' but that looks bad. You should paint it, or maybe sand and stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colb Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Get a better amp/turn the treble down on the guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That was through a berg ringer keyboard amp, with a graphic eq and it sounded like that still, still think it could benefit from better pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That was through a berg ringer keyboard amp, with a graphic eq and it sounded like that still, still think it could benefit from better pickupsWould more likely benefit from being played through a guitar amp, made by anyone other than Behringher. Come round and try it through my 1964 Fender Concert and we'll see if it still sounds shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'll defo be up for that man, I tried it through a wee 5watt vox but sounded a bit dodgy too but I guess thats a crap thing to use aswel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't get the whole reliced guitar thing. At least YoungA did his himself, buying a new guitar in a relic finish just seems mental to me. Like buying a new Mercedes, but requesting they put a dent in the bumper, the paintwork is rusting and the wing mirror has come loose before you get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse is when the "relic finish" is painted on. It's not even real chips or worn away paint. It's painted on to look like worn away paint. The worst.
