My new guitar project

[Securb]

This is my latest project guitar. It is another Iceman this time a 1980. What I am doing is a cross between a Iceman and a Gretsch (Stop scratching your head). The guitar was customized (hacked) in the 80’s and was turned into a single pickup guitar, the rhythm pickup and the pickup selector switch were filled in.


I had the guitar sprayed a retro silver sparkle before the guitar is sprayed I filled in the tail piece holes, control knob holes and pickup screw holes. So all of those surfaces will be clean and I can drill in new holes for the controls


I am going to leave it a single pickup guitar sort of. I put in a classic TV Jones pickup to give me cool surf, jazz, classic rock tones. To emulate the sound of a 60's hollow body Gretsch I am also putting in a pezio pickup to add some acoustic tones. A fishman bridge with a powerchip.

The guitar is finished of with Spezel locking tuners and a Bigsby vibrato bridge.

Here are pictures of the process, it should be done in another month
