DetroitBlues Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I decided a Bigsby just wasn't good enough... So I hot rodded it some more... Pinstriped the Top Black Back the body Skull Cross Bones pickup covers, poker chip, and input jack plate Gibson E-Tune tuners. Routed for Floyd Rose Replaced nut with Floyd Rose Locking nut Sanded all the paint of the neck. Added some "relic" to the top. Added James Hatfield EMG's Oh ya, its a heavy metal machine now!!! Or maybe, I just put the regular tailpiece back on and removed the pickguard...
TalismanRich Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I'm not much for the Skull and Crossbones poker chip. Maybe something in a gothic cross, which nice pointy bits to draw a touch of blood every time you switch pickups. Its not real metal until the blood starts flowing.
Vanschoyck Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I usually don't like that kind of stuff, but on that guitar it works.
RSquared Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Got me too DB. Almost came flying out of my chair. But then I saw the guit. Nice one!
DetroitBlues Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Nothing like building them up, only to take them down....
Kuz Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Man, I paid a luthier to have the pick guard professionally installed. But it is your guitar.......
Beagle216 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I really like it without the pick guard. I generally prefer flame guitars without a pick guard on them.

yuominae Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I had to scroll down before I saw the maybe part. I thought I was gonna cry for a sec! Lol, that was a good one!
Billgelder Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Kuz called me and said "If you ever buy one of my guitars again you must promise me you will never sell it to Josh." I agreed to his terms.
HANGAR18 Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Had me going too. Speaking of picguards... one time I reinstalled a pickguard after it had been removed by the previous owner. Drilled a hole right through the filled and refinished original hole spot.
