    Nicely done. I've got a p-rails lying around that I haven't installed in anything yet.

      I was wondering if they made p-rails in creme. That looks killer. I wonder if SD would make a 7-string p-rails pickup.

        +1 from me on how much better the Sea Sick looks with the chrome. The cream/white pickups look great, too, and compliment the color.
        Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory.

          Definately like the chrome on the Sea Sick. I did a similar conversion on my black SD1.

          I too have black parts sitting around begging to be put to go use.

            I sold a custom ESP years back that I now wish I would have kept. So, my spare black hardware will likely be used to recreate something similar with Musikraft or Warmoth parts.

                Awesome mods on the sea sick! That turned out great. I think Charvel should have released that color with the chrome and creme like you have it!

                  I'm liking these. You have good taste--nice job.

                  How much extra for all that hardware though?

                    I agree. I might've actually bought the Seasick I played the other day if it looked like that...maybe. Pretty nice guitar but the black looked all wrong to me.

                      Bump. I'm curious what it would cost to get a San Dimas in Seasick Green or Candy Apple Red and then change out the hardware for chrome (and cream plastic).

                        Just price out the parts and do the math - its not too friggin hard to do in this day and age.

                        Tuners - $40
                        Floyd - $180
                        Pickups - $150
                        Knob - $10
                        Pickup rings - $10
                        football jack - $10
                        strap pins - $15

                        That's off the top of my head for what I spent on mine. You can do better if you have the parts already, use 2nd hand parts and sell the original parts to offset costs.

                          It is if you don't know which specific parts were purchased and from where.

                          Thanks though. Seeing the outlay, I'd probably just keep the black for now, and maybe do these mods down the road.
