NGD - Douglas Grendel 725's X 2

[Sir Euric]

Well ours finally showed up (a day late) oh well moving on... Yeah these guitars need to be destringed, cleaned and reset up again, everything on these guitars was loose, even the neck joint, so here goes...

Possumkiller sitting next to thy guitars

My arm

Me opening mine

 

[Nightside]

Yeah

 

[SAWitall]

about time they arrive...if these guitars are anything like my douglas 7 id think your more than happy with the bang for buck

 

[JamesM]

Zey are tweeeeeens.

Sweet dudes.

EDIT:
WTF? Is that spotted carpet?

 

[SYLrules88]

post closeups of the nut. i wanna see if yalls are as bad as mine!

 

[Sir Euric]

Yes, for 160 bucks, they aren't half bad, just need to change out the pickups and the tuners and the strings and tighten everything else up and we'll have some good sounding guitarage.

 

[Sir Euric]

Yeah, thanks for reminding me about the nut, they're pretty shitty IMO, they are white plastic painted black.

 

[Nightside]

Yeah we will put in some DiMarzios, Sperzels, GraphTech nut, CTS pots, Swtchcraft jack and toggle, sand them down and swirl them, rip off the freboard and install an ebony one from StewMac with 6105s on it and that should about do it.

 

[Sir Euric]

LOL, just replace everything and have a totally different guitar.

Yeah, I can see they fucked up the end of the fretboard in the pic of the destringed one, and they put rosewood colored wood filler in between the nut and the fretboard.

 

[Nightside]

Yeah I dont think I would recommend these to a beginner. Unless they know someone who can set up a guitar well.

 

[Sir Euric]

The floor is a Terrazzo floor, smooth rock hard surface.

 

[Nightside]

The cases are pretty badass though. Not very expensive and very nice. I would get those for any guitar that doesnt come with a hardshell.

 

[Sir Euric]

Yes, I'm glad I got the cases, really nice for the price. The info for the case is: EGC-200 Baritone, the guitars fit like a glove in them.

 

[Despised_0515]

This is making me GAS pretty hard for a backup guitar...

Congrats on the twins!

 

[leandroab]

John Romero doppleganger?

 

[Nightside]

God I love the tone of basswood! Just an unbeatable combination of basswood, maple, and rosewood on a plain black guitar. Makes me happy in my pants.

 

[SYLrules88]

and a painted plastic nut to top it off!

glad you guys are liking them and i cant wait to see what they look like when they are done being modded. i love swirls

 

[Sir Euric]

I didn't like swirls back in the day, but now that my tastes have changed, I like them alot, I bought these guitars to have some fun with, try our hand at either ruining these or do something great with them. The nut looks like it was done by an 8 year old, the one on my guitar, the grooves are not straight where the strings sit, I want to also try doing candy with metal flake paint jobs like on the lowriders, candy Tangerine Orange, or candy Apple Red and some others.

 

[Nightside]

Yeah. Dont even take them apart. We can swirl everything and then clean the paint off the frets.

 

[Sir Euric]

Hah, do a full guitar swirl, need to get something deep to dip them in, like a 55 gal drum.
