Hey guys!
I wasn't here at the board for a while... But now I'm here again to present my modified Gibson '76 Explorer.
It is a 2006 model which I modded last year with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates and a SH 14 Custom 5 and later a black pickguard.
In the night from the 30th September to the 1st October she stayed in the rehearsal room in her case - this night some f***in' a**holes were breakin' into our rehearsal room, the 2 bass guitars are broken to a lot of pieces, a neck is missing completely, the drumset, a mic and the whole mixer broken... My Gibson and the LP copy of the other guitarist stolen...
To make it short, the police located the two guitars a few days later, the LP broken because it was in a gigbag, my Explorer case wasn't opened. The Explorer was rusted as hell and looked like 30 years old because this one night it rained a lot.
My assurance payed the repair costs and so I did a few of mods which I wasn't able to do because of the lack of money :headbang:
- Schaller locking tuners
- a Tone Pros tune-o-matic and bridge
- push-pull-pots for coilsplit
- no tone-pot (two volumes, the bridge-vol is at the ex-tone)
- toggle at the place of the former neck-volume
- totally shielded electronics
- new black pickguard without toggle-hole
- graphite-carbon nut
- fret-polish and fingerboard oiling
That's just a crappy pic with my mobilephone cam, I will take some better ones later, but not today, because I'm going to see Immortal, Sodom and some other great bands today :headbang:
So, have a nice day!
