Well, it's been almost a year since I picked this guitar up, and I've finally got it done.
For those who don't remember, I picked this up at a flea market for $25 because some poor soul didn't know how to put it back together.
Well, since I'm not a fan of black guitars with rosewood fingerboards (heck, I'm not much of a fan of rosewood fingerboards, but it's kinda hard to swap those) I sanded it down, routed out the neck pickup for a bucker and repainted it. I picked up some Phat Cats and some new white accoutrements from martinsixstringcustoms (thanks again, bro!) and a new pickguard from Warmoth.
Here's the finished project:
I've done some work on a few of my others, too.
I picked up a trio of matching Peavey Predators a while back. I just cleaned up the first one and sanded the finish off the neck. Otherwise it's completely stock. The other one got my HSS setup from my old Predator (more on that later) and is now loaded with a Custom Custom (with coil splitter)/Hot Rails/Cool Rails. I did a true-oil finish on that neck. The third one is still disassembled, as it needed some repairs. It will be getting a new paint job.
As for my old Predator, I got a new HH pickguard to house my 78 and the 59n from my Jackson. Before I installed it, I put an A2 in the 59. I don't know that there's an HH combo I like better.
