A Moded guitar, i want to see the final product dude.
Will you sell it on ebay afterward or is it for you?

[Liu Bei]

A customization guitar eh? Thats cool, plus you going to have sonic,thats just cool! I can't play a guitar at all!

I bet its going to look great!

[Jimbo1990]

the final product is going to be for me, and this is my first time doing this sort of thing so it may not look as cool as i'd hope but we'll see

Theres been serveral changes to my custom plans but here is the basic over lay (I KNOW the picture is ****e i only have ms paint so you have to make the best of what you've got know what i mean?)



1. Spray-painted Sonic logo,
2. Tone control replaced with a second Volume control,
3 & 4. New Pickups, A Tom Anderson HN3 in the bridge and a Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell in the neck,
5. Brdige will be a Schaller LP tremolo system,
6. New neck with a reverse "banana" headstock like on my Kamikaze and a maple fretboard (22 frets),
7. new Sperzel Locking Tuners
8. Spray painted SEGA logo on the headstock

Well there you go, what ya think?

[Lance813]

Ahh a schaller LP trem, that should be fun to put in. heh.

[Jimbo1990]

actually its fairly straight forwad it just pops onto where the tune-o-matic bridge is, no routing required! (yeah i know i'm lazy)

[Lance813]

Ohh crap nevermind. I was thinking that its installed like a Kahler thru-body. Whoops.
