Hey all,
Prawn first:
So after getting my kicks out of putting together a couple of vintage Strats, I figured a superstrat/modern strat would be the ideal progression for me. I've never really warmed up to the more pointy superstrats, so I decided to put together my own...

I mean, I can see the nice concept behind it. But that bridge placement is just so damn awkward.
If it were up to me though, I would use ash or hard maple for the body. Just to make up for the imminent neck dive.
Hey all,
Just scored this beauty recently, and for $500, I'm not complaining :agreed: Pics first.
I believe it's a 90's Custom Shop model. I've seen the ones with a natural finish before, so this looks the part, just black.
There are a number of light scratches and minor dents...
Hey all,
I was lusting after a natural finished Strat-ish guitar. I've always wanted a Guthrie Govan Suhr, but wasn't ready to drop that amount of coin for one. So I tried to go the Carvin route, and I regret nothing. And this is my very first Carvin too! Pics for everyone!
Sadly...
Hey all!
Thinking of modding my RG321MH (natural finish). Just got it a few weeks ago, and it's quickly becoming my go-to guitar for recording things with. So I might as well make it better, both in the looks and technical department :shred:
Here's my rough mockup of the mod when it's...
Hey all!
Been lusting after this one for quite a while now, especially since I played one while I was in Japan. 1 Of only 2 Epiphones I'm actually keen on, and being a Jeff Waters/Annihilator fan, I just had to get it.
Found this on a whim visit to a local pawn shop. Was pleasantly...
Hi all :wavey:
New PartsCaster Guitar Day! I'm going to detail the build and mods in this topic, so if this should belong to a different sub-forum, admins and mods please move this to the appropriate spot, thank you.
A bit of backstory first if you don't mind. If you want to get down to...
Hey all!
I'm currently putting the electronics together for my Tele. Configuration:
- 2 Hums
- 3 Way Tele switch
- 1 Master Volume
- 1 LED Momentary Killswitch
- Stereo Jack
I'm having problems hooking the killswitch to the rest of the circuit. I have a pic and a small diagram of the switch...
Hey all,
Really sorry if this sounds like a beginner's question, but I'm currently planning on installing a momentary killswitch (19mm in diameter) on my Tele. So of course the original mounting hole on my control plate needs to be enlarged. My control plate is made of plated iron.
Now I don't...
Won't keep you up here for long :lol: Straight to the porn!
Within moments after the guitar's received, went straight for its first mod. ESP Arming Adjuster solves everything that are wrong with my guitar maintenance skills :agreed:
A wild photo bombing bunny appears!

Hey all,
Inspired by ZOMB13's relic'd Tele thread, I decided to showcase my poorly modded Tokai Love Rock (LP) to you all. Apologies and a warning in advance, a piss poor, and very amateur attempt at relicing ahead.
I bought this one in 2011, and was originally intended for just a quick fix...
Hey all!
I just broke my previous record of most guitars obtained in a single day. This time, I got my hands on 4 in one single day!

Obtained from my friend Stu Marshall (Dungeon, Paindivision, Empires of Eden). He was endorsed by these guys, but had to end it recently...
Hi all!
My prized possession, the ESP Cygnus, are always kept in its hardcase unless I know I'm about to play or restring it. However, after a week or so sitting in its case unopened, to my horror I discovered that there are now small black specks/dots on the gold anodised pickguard.
The...
Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar:
A very solid player and a great shredder too. Hard maple body and neck, but not as heavy as you might think. This particular guitar also sports one of the glossiest ebony fretboards I've ever laid eyes on! 24 Frets and with excellent craftmanship...
Hey all!
Another NGD time. First up is my neck-thru ESP LTD H-300 in see-thru black with flame top. Bought this one because it looks sort of similar to Peter Wichers' old Capa guitar. Maybe I should have it satin'd to match it up :lol: This one came with Seymour Duncan Blackouts, but as with...
Hey all!
It's been a while since my last NGD thread. I've acquired a few more guitars since then, but these 2 deserve their own NGD thread as well!
First one is a Parker NiteFly Radial RF522 in lime green finish. Won this at an auction on eBay. The seller was a very nice chap, and I had a very...
