I think I'm gonna start a new one here.. "OGNF"

Old Guitar New Facelift.

Over the past couple years, I've done this to pretty much every guitar I own. New parts, new looks, new sounds. Upgrading and upgrading. Experiment after experiment.. Ugh.. It can get tiring at times.

But I finally did it. I found my mojo guitar..

20 guitars into it. Different makes and models. searching for my perfect shape and tone. It all finally came down to one guitar I can't live without.



And there's a pic of it.. Not the greatest pic. Kinda blurry and the lighting isn't very good. Neither is my camera. This guitar has been re-done a few times, but now it has a mojo that is beyond what I ever expected. To see it in person, and play it, and feel how smooth it plays and sounds makes it all worth the time and money spent. It could have just as easily been a fender and given me the same result. But it isn't. And whatever.

Strat style body and neck
Gibson 498t Bridge Pickup
Dimarzio Tone Zone neck pickup with Alnico-2 magnet
Fender 3-way switch
500k CTS volume pot
CTS no load tone pot
Orange Drop Cap

I'm going to re-create this guitar with a different look (paint-job, maybe without the chrome pickup covers) so I can have a backup.. 2012 is looking very bright indeed.

I know excuses are like @55holes, every one has one. My computer took a crap op me and the place where I bought it ha to send it back to the manufacturer for repairs. I am stuck using just my cell phone for access to the web. I haven't tried uploading from my IPhone to Photobucket yet, but will today. If there aren't any issues, I will post pics of my newest edition to my herd.

I have to admit that this Blacktop sounds better than my original one I bought in early 2011. Aside from the Floyd Rose and not having pick up overs on, it has the same specs. Same pick ups, pots, and caps.

I just had my shop order all the parts for my pick guard rebuild. I am more interested in posting those pics once I have them installed in my new Blacktop.
