The spectrum.

How come none of you cunts liked my new restoration? Fuckers. This guitar is legendary.

Work i had to do.

1. Someone once tried to convert it to HSS but the cavity was too small and the pickup couldn't adjust properly. So i ran a bearing bit around a templates and cleaned it all up. I also added the holes for the humbucker legs.

2. Strap button was pulling out on the top horn so i fixed that by adding a bigger slightly longer screw.

3. Wiring was rubbish so i re-wired it.

4. Floyd rose maintenance and oiling.

5. Body neck and all parts polished.

6 Various new screws.

7. Shielded all cavities with cp3 paint

8. oil fretboard.

9 polish frets.

To round it all off the action is super low, frets are like new and it sounds great. I know a lot of you wont like the look of the pickguard but it has grown on me. I love this thing!

AND the ultrasonic is insane. Its only 6k but it almost as loud as the 16k jackson humbucker. Truly gnarly and unexpected. Apparently they have a flat eq or something. I dont know how that works but its a screamer and thats all i care about..

We need graphs and video clips before we can form a scientific opinion about it.

And don't forget the exact technical specs.
Because I said so.

That is really fucking sweet. I like the look of it. Odd mix of upstart and classy.

Nice how the crackle finish hides the craters in the bout.

Will it blend?

I just figure as usual my opinion is pointless and unnecessary. It's a nice guitar great work.
