Re: Seymourized
Back about 1971 I received a guitar for a birthday present from my parents. They knew nothing about guitars so they asked my then guitar teacher what would be a good one to buy for me. What I got was this roughly 1970ish Made in Japan SG copy. It's what I assume was a pre-lawsuit era guitar and originally had a Bigsby style tremolo on it. I don't know for sure where it came from or even what the brand name was. I've seen a few around the internet but the problem with identification is the same. About the only thing I'm fairly certain is that is was probably built at the Matsomoku factory.
A few years ago I got back into guitars and resurrected this old faithful by removing the tremolo and replacing it with a stop tailpiece. Over the years it's had three sets of tuners, three bridges and now a new set of pickups. This year I updated the electronics by adding SH-4 JB in the bridge position and an SH-2n Jazz at the neck. I updated the pots to 500k and use Push-Push volume pots to coil-split each of them. It sounds great and I'm happy with the new hotter sound.

Re: Seymourized
Seems like there is always one or two of these type of threads going and they always generate mucho drool worthy guitar porn eye candy!!!
4 out of 6 of mine are Seymour Duncan Equipped and I'm working on a 7th!!!
#1. 1988 Jackson Soloist Custom/Ontario Custom Shop "Glow In The Dark" Crackle/Lava Serial #J4742: Sustains forever, JE1200 Active Mid-Boost is awesome, Reverse Headstock/Neck-Thru/Ebony Fretboard, J200/J200/Pre-2004 Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Maricela Juarez “Evenly Voiced Harmonics” Trembucker/JE1200 Active Mid-Boost, Non-Recessed Original Floyd Rose w/Floyd Upgrades Threaded Screw In Arm, Schaller Straplocks/Black Leather Strap
#2. 2013 USACG/Warmoth Iceman: This is my EVH/Brown Sound Guitar, incredibly comfy neck, an Custom - Custom Build, USACG Quarter-Sawn Maple/Maple Fretboard Neck - 12” Radius, 22 Jumbo Frets, R2 1 5/8” Nut, Gotoh SG38 Tuners, Warmoth Mahogany Iceman Body in Pearl White, Seymour Duncan Jazz/JB-Custom Custom A2 Hybrid Trembucker, DiMarzio 500K Push:Pull Volume/3 Way LP Style Selector Switch/Fender TBX Tone x 2, Cup Jack, ’89 Ibanez Metal Pickup Mounting Rings and Vol/Tone/Tone Knobs, Recessed ’85 Original Floyd Rose w/Threaded Screw In Arm and 37mm Big Brass Block, DiMarzio Cliplock Black Strap
3. 1991 Gibson M-II Standard - I've owned three of these and never bonded with them, this one plays great, sounds great and does not go out of tune, First Year Production, Modified - Pickguard removed, body refinished in “Battle Worn Black”, Early 90’s Seymour Duncan Lidia Daniel Jazz JNL/Early 90s Classic Stack/JB TB4L in black plastic mounting rings, 5 Way Strat Selector/Mini Toggle/Volume/Tone .22 Orange Oil In Paper Cylinder Capacitor, “Gibson” Logo Tuners, Maple Fretboard w/Abalone Arrowhead Inlays, Recessed “Gibson” Schaller Made In Germany Floyd with Collared Arm, Custom “Day of The Dead” Truss Rod Cover, Q Parts Skull Vol/Tone Knobs, Schaller Straplocks/“Buddy Guy ‘08” Autographed Black & White Polka Dot Strap
4. 1998 Squier Venus - At one point in approx. 2000 I picked up a Sunburst Venus, Black Venus and 2 Fiesta Red Jag-Stangs. The Black Venus was the only one I kept and gave to my Daughter.
The Squier Vista Series Venus offered:
- Quality Craftsmanship "Crafted In Japan"
- Bound Fingerboard with Fully Bound 12" Radius Fretboard and Jumbo Frets
- Discontinued ('98 only) "seafoam green"
- Tune-O-Matic Bridge with String-Through Body Design
- Versatile Sonically - with only Volume/3 Way Selector Toggle Switch
I recently pulled it out of the case since my Daughter is away at college and I always enjoyed playing the damn thing so much. I really like it for an inexpensive unusual guitar along the same lines as any Fender Offset Guitar; Jaguar, Jazz-Master, Jag-Stang, etcetera.
I wasn't happy with the SD APS-1/Pearly Gates Trembucker so I swapped them out for a SD Antiquity Strat/'59 Trembucker, installed a new CTS 500k Volume and added a Fender TBX Tone, and, swapped the White Vol/Tone Knobs and Selector Switch Tip to Black as I think it looks much better with the "Tuxedo Black" Treatment. Set up with .10-.46 Strings. Now it also sounds MUCH better with the changes.
