Any headless horsemen here?
I got this chinese thing in an exchange, and sincerely don't know what to do with it. Never owned a headless so I know next to nothing about what's good quality hardware, what is or is not possible considering the layout, bridge mounting holes, the exquisite craftsmanship that is the ground-wire pit of despair...
Frets are good. Scratch that, they sucked vast bungholes BUT now they're good. The board needs cleaning and some touching up, as does the body (faux binding with some paint spills, some hazeyness and blemishes on the finish).
I was thinking maybe an 81/66 combo, or even Blackouts if I could get them to Croatia for reasonable money. The "Thing" has a battery compartment on the rear.
On he other hand, I'm quite partial aesthetically to nickel/silver/chrome/satin hardware and pickups with matching covered buckers on these kinds of guitars.
Maybe I'm just getting a bit tired of going full black on every project.
Anyway, what do you think, what would you do, recommend? Anyone with a headless collection to impart some wisdom on a newbie?
Even using as a kitchen board to clobber fat steaks into submission is considered. Just go easy on the lemon, he's been very supportive.
