Finally got around to resurrecting this one...

After:



and now....





















Removed the green paint with lacquer thinner, then sanded off the tinted brown. Left the original seal coat on as I didn't really want to break out the Tru Oil and spend a few more days on it. Sanded through in a few spots but not too worried about it. Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge, Calig MegaDrive with an A4 magnet in the neck.

So you took the green one, stripped it, re-routed the neck pup pocket, and changed the neck. Are you going to leave it natural or are you going to yet paint it?

I actually liked the green.

Also chiseled down the neck pocket angle and sat the bridge flat on the body.

Probably leaving it natural. Come March/April it will be warm enough in the garage to start painting things again.

I think I like the Jackson neck better, looking good!

Nice!
I hav a set of Calig neodymium singles in a Strat copy that sound really good, how do you like the Calig in that guitar?

Um….you left out "Replaced the entire neck with…."

Keep it natural. Looks really classy that way.

Works perfectly. This one originally had a neodymium magnet in it, figured the neo would be a little on the bright side so I swapped it.

Um….you left out "Replaced the entire neck with…."

Thought that was pretty obvious.


.....Chinese Jackson copy neck.

To me it's a little on the pale side. I can always paint it, and remove the paint again later. Again, that's a question for later when it warms up again. It's been 30 degrees at night for the last few weeks so the painting booth in the garage is on hiatus.
