Just got back from a spur-of-the-moment trade. Swapped my Dot Deluxe and an inexpensive Washburn nylon string. Details to follow.

That aceman style sticker finish is really political.
Pretty cool nice trade.

How the hell do I flip the pic?
Pardon my ignorance, but how so?
Thanks! Both parties are happy, so I call it a win.

That blue is a perfect match to the background of the forum. You plan to keep it as-is or are you going to hot rod it?

Ayrton- I’m adding a tone knob, and maybe going to a P90. What would you do?
Christopher- See above

Removed all the strings, pulled the pickup. The guy said it was a Dirty Fingers. It's marked "Gibson USA" and "T" on the bottom.
Gonna remove the stickers, oil the board, then re-string with SIT 11-50, tuned Eb. I'm gonna give the 'bucker a little time, but ultimately I see a P90 in there.

Maybe a bit predictable but I would refinish that in correct TV yellow and a proper P90.

P-Rails is definitely on the table. I wanna give the stock pickup a good run first, though, then maybe an alnico magnet before changing it.
Forgot to mention, it has a Badass bridge.

If it makes you feel better, I got it and chuckled a little.

Re: NGD: 2011 Melody Maker
So, after a few days of playing this thing a bunch...
I think I like it. The neck shape is good, and it feels really good with my setup (11s at Eb, a little higher than medium action). The neck is set super flat, so I still need to give it a little relief. I don't know if it's a psychosomatic thing, but for whatever reason I'm happier with a little more curve.
I have really mixed feelings about the one volume, one pickup thing. I keep wanting to reach for the switch or the tone knob. Maybe I've just been playing a Strat too long

Re: NGD: 2011 Melody Maker
My preferred setup is only one volume, but with a very bright guitar or pickup I've thought that a slight notch in the highs could be nice. I'd personally rather have a push/pull with a cap on it than another knob, I don't like the look. I will say that LPs do the two knob look the best of any guitars.
Aren't these all maple? I can't imagine a P90 or any single not being a bit shrill. Gibson makes some nice medium output humbuckers, and I always, always push the Carvin C22B. They're like $20 used.

Very nice. I prefer double cuts, though. Enjoy.
