NGD: A La Cabronita project

Re: NGD: A La Cabronita project

that looks great as is. I personally would not put a pickguard on there .

Yeah, might as well keep it woody. Never had tv jones pickups, not sure if I'd like 'em or not.

If your TV Jones Classics are muddy then there's definitely a problem. Those are some of the clearest and richest sounding pickups on the market. I'd check to see if the recommended pot value is in there.

Well I have spent more time tweaking this thing than anyone should have to.

The neck is a TV Classic and the bridge is the Classic Plus. The only pot in the guitar is a 500k, and the wiring is just a 3 way toggle. Can't get much easier than that.

Might see this one in the classifieds soon.

Well, she is still here and has come into her own. The finish has darkened a bit and I added the guard. I got the pickup heights sorted out and life is good.

Do I detect the future test bed of a set of SD Custom Shop Psyclones? Good thinking on the pickguard, I definitely like the look.

I never changed from the Classic/Classic Plus. I just had to get the height in the right spot. I jammed on it a fair amount tonight and the only thing that needs changing is maybe the pickguard. Black is kinda boring on this one and maybe some kind of tort.
