Re: Rig pics
Very cool, thanks. How did your guitar come to look like that?

Re: Rig pics
It is a very old and used Blues jr that I did the Bill M mods on. The tolex was coming off so I just yanked it off and left it. good sounding little amp.
I always remove the finish from maple necks for the feel they have, so why not the body?
If you look at the pic of the back of the guitar you can see some of the paint left in the trem cavity. It was a metallic green color that I despised, so I stripped it. It had several coats...poly, green, red metal flake, gold metal flake and then sealer....big pain in the backside.

Nice setup. With the addition of my wah, tweak fuzz & ds-1, I'd totally roll with that
That Strat looks awesome.... you've got me eyeing mine & the sandpaper....

Re: Rig pics
Yeah, I sanded down an Epiphone LP once. It took every bit of 14+ hours. It would be awhile if I decided to do this Strat.... I don't have the time to do it in two or three sittings, and I like it way too much to leave it in pieces at the moment.
It sure does look/sound/feel nice once it's done, though.

Re: Rig pics
They are from our resident freelance pick up winding guru Zhangligun.
All are A5 Bridge 9.7 K tapped at 7.3K
Middle 5.9K
Neck6.3K
I can't say enough good things about them..very clear and rich souding.
Garrett, the Peavey is a nice little amp and will sound better with the right speaker. I'm waiting to hear back from Bruce collins about a speaker.

Re: Rig pics
You got me eyeing my MIM tele body to sand away. I wonder how many pieces of wood are actually under the massive amount of paint? I like the natural look. I would probably end up running some sanding sealer over it and 1 coat of clean.

Thanks....it feels really nice...not sticky.How come people add their own rig pics when the thread is about BB's rig?
It's cool...I got to see how rid sets up his plexitone.
Nice setup there, I really like the way the Strat looks..
