So, I guess you are aware of the fact I build guitars, right? Imagine my joy when I was able to find a set of SH9's Silverbird pickups. A SET. Matching SET. They were something like 140 bucks, as a set :argh: I didn't believe they were real until I had MJ confirm they indeed were the real deal via photo's. When I got them in my grubby hands I was able to confirm their pedegree. I just couldn't believe my luck.
So, I was already in the process of developing some updates to my company and my brand and this guitar was the first of that new direction.
[in short: each model I offer will get one sample with a black korina body; each in a different flat color with different neck blanks; so the LP will be purple with a purpleheart neck, the strat has a bubinga neck and a blue finish, the V has ziricote and yellow, the X has wenge and trans white, the SG red, of course, and padouk, the superstrat is orange with ovangkol, the carved dual cut (PRS inspired) has a pau ferro neck and a green finish. One more finish and shape to go).
So....well. pics tell a better story than a 1000 words so here you go. Knock yourself out
I purposefully redesigned the heel because, why not. It's got a Gotoh floyd rose, the SH9 pickups with 1 push pull pot. Tonally, I'm a super happy camper. These pickups are not overly hot but they have a sweet roar. Think of these as Alnico 2 Pro's but hotter and SLIGHTLY tighter but not nearly as smushy as the Custom Custom. The split really, really well. My only regret is not having routed this guitar for a 5 way blade.
I will post more pics of other guitars later...
