NCMGD: New Cheap Modified Guitar Day

Re: NCMGD: New Cheap Modified Guitar Day

Wow I dig that. Ito agree pickup needs to be White.

Yep, I'm on the lookout for a white EMG81 as we speak

Yep I agree a white pup would be better. Maybe something like this for a volume:

But then a guitar knob .

I like the idea, it does need something to push it that bit further

Cool, man. If they made those in lefty, I'd own one by now.

Considering the upgrades, it sounds like you got a great deal. Congrats and enjoy! :beerchug:

Thanks Kam!

I already have a few offers on it if I do ever want to sell it but I think by the cost of the Kahler alone I'm more or less broke even on it.

I really like it, I figured the Super D would work great in an Agathis body, I really liked the xl500 in my old Agathis BC Rich....the perfect pup for a dark guitar IMO...

I originally had a Super D in my Alder bodied BC Rich Gunslinger and never really bonded with it. It now lives in my Epi Firebird with a Super 2 in the neck and it's a perfect match.

I can't really decide if it's right for this guitar until I get more play time in on it and some slightly heavier strings.

I love it. I wish they'd make one with a Dora The Explorer pickguard though (in which case I assume it would then be the 'Hello Dora' Strat). Guess I'll have to make do with a Dora The Explorer Explorer when it's released. But I'd prefer a pink Strat.

Crusty. I just visited the Rick Parfitt Guitar Facelift website to see whether they offered any Hello Kitty or Dora themed products. Sadly, they did not but you might dig their Rory Strat model. http://www.guitarfacelift.com/home.htm

Are you playing a child's guitar so that you look less like a hobbit???

Pah! That guitar deserves a Custom Shop special order white Zephyr Silver humbucker.

Surely the big hats make more sense now!

That's more polite of a name than others I've had suggested to me for it

Bit rich for my blood I'm afraid

Now it all makes sense!

Well Craig, I hope you are going to play this

I might put that forward as a suggestion actually. 1 of my bands plays 70s style punk stuff so that could work!

You should modify the pickguard to look like a 'Hello Kitty' version of interweb sensation Tard, the 'grumpy cat'.

I did have some ideas for the scratchplate but I think that might have beaten them!!

Are'nt the string trees redundant with the locking nut?

Probably yeah. I'll probably take them off next time I restring

No way. That would destroy the vintage collectibility value.

Re: NCMGD: New Cheap Modified Guitar Day

That is awesome. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing one of these when it was sitting in the local GC.

All it needs is a little dab of red nail polish...

Re: NCMGD: New Cheap Modified Guitar Day

Brow came around today with this guitar. I must say it's awesome for what it is. It sounded surprisingly evil. The kahler feels fantastic and was really easy to restring and setup. One thing that really stood out was how well it played the fretwork was great with no sharp edges and the neck was really comfortable.
