My bastardized Fender Stagemaster 7 string. Originally was blue with dual direct mounted DiMarzio Air Norton humbuckers, a gross blue finish with the fat Strat body shape. I took the body to a band saw, reshaped the horns and also the headstock, filled in the neck pickup cavity and threw in a DiMarzio D-activator into the bridge and tuned it to A standard Korn tuning.
I made my own Solar before Ola Englund did
How did you fill the neck pickup cavity?
Kind of debating on doing the same on a different guitar

Not really big on single pup guitars but for whatever reason I really dig these. Something about having the pickgaurd still on there has a weird vibe about it that I like.
Should have clarified ... not mine, just my dream guitar

in 2016 I was gifted an absolute shitmachine PRS SE that had been spraypainted pink, only had 5 strings because there was no tuner for the high E, and all the electronicis had been removed save for a single humbucker wired straight to the output jack. wish I'd kept some pictures of that beast, it was my open mic guitar for a couple years. one night my band at the time was covering modest moust for an april fool's show, the strap broke during out of gas and I just left it on the floor and kicked it around while continuing to sing. ahhhh, memories.

They really do. I know it won't happen, but a black metal run of SVs and random stars. The world would definitely suck a little less.

I can't remember the brand as it was 2011, probably 3M epoxy. It took a while to set, once it solidified it was really smooth - I used some sandpaper on it to rough it up for the red paint hold on very well.
I saw the trans yellow carvin and I knew your username exactly from the days on jcfonline. Crazy blast from the past.

My Jackson Pro Brandon Ellis Kelly, only got it at the start of December. I’d never played a Kelly shape before but I love it, it’s got more of a bevel than my King V and it’s generally very comfy to play

I've owned several single pickup guitars and I've always returned them. I love the idea of a single pickup. I do NOT like the idea of a single volume knob. 25.5 scale guitars really need a tone knob imo. Even if it's always on 10, just something to cut the top end off a bit. Every time I have had a guitar like this I always end up reaching for a tone knob that's not there, looked into how much work it would require to drill into the guitar and install a tone knob, then just sent the guitar back. If only single pickup guitars with a tone knob were more common.

Nice!
Haha I'm still an admin over there, but don't really go there all that much. The Facebook page seems to get more traffic these days.

You could always just get a concentric pot so you've got both volume and tone on the same pot. The outer section is usually volume with the inner for tone.

May not be as versatile, but you could always mess with EQ on your amp/pedals to compensate for the lack of tone knob?
Also, side track, but you mentioned that a 25.5 scale could benefit from a tone knob. What about 24.75 or 25 scale length? Just curious.

Always loved those Rob Arnold LTDs. I still have my old 2009(?) catalogue and it was the first Strat I'd ever seen that I actually wanted
Hell yeah dude
