NGD: Check out my new (to me) 1989 custom strat!

[tomanyjacksons]

Cool, can't wait too see them. I've almost got a 3 hum, Charvel model series, modded mutt done. That was a mouthful. I really need to start putting pics of my guitars up.

For those still interested...

I finally popped the neck off and took some good pictures of the info in the cavity. I'm going to start a new thread with them, just in case there are people with ideas who aren't paying attention to this one.

Thanks!

^^^ Custom shop? The neck is really pretty, looks like flamed maple to me. Looks like the neck on an older PC model the one with the Wilkinson bridge. Cool guitar Bad Apple, very chub worthy.

Thanks, tomanyjacksons! I definitely get all chubby when I play it.

I'll have to take a closer look at the neck when I get home. I didn't think it was flamed maple, but that would definitely be an added bonus.

I'm hoping to bring it in to my tech so I can get some neck pocket pictures soon. Hopefully that will answer some more questions...

I'd love to see a pic of that thing!

I originally saved this picture in 2002. I never tried finding out more about the guitar... dunno what's up with the dots... might not be real after all.

The guitarist from either Misery Index or Dying Fetus had a late 80's strathead Jackson with a strat body and a TOM. I couldn't find a picture, but I know it exists... or at least did.

That.........is one nice axe

I think some people would say that's the tone of mine they like best...

Cool guitar.

[Bad Apple]

Do you realize that if you replaced the 2-way mini switches with 3-way mini switches and wired them up for coil taps, you'd have 27 possible tones? Well, 26 if you don't consider ALL OFF a "tone".

Amazing guitar! Definitely a remarkable NGD thread!

[Bad Apple]

Yep, looks great. usually that would have been VT3M, vol, tone 3 mini's. there was an old charvel w 3 hums floating around years ago, don't remember if it was original or not, IIRC it was green.

j2379,

Could it say VT3M in the mess above "tower?" Or whatever looks like tower? Would it make any sense to say VT3M and then "tone + V?" Seems a bit redundant.

That'd be this Charvel??




Several other 3-hum Charvels have surfaced over the years....there's this strathead....originality also unconfirmed:



& there's the 3 Def Leppard/Ibanez copies:







& others that were confirmed mods....Tonys old crackle strathead for example!!

[Bad Apple]

I guess I really should take the neck off and see for myself. I'm a little scared to do that, honestly...
