I also would imagine it would be easier for them to make a replacement for a So Cal....as opposed to what I want to do...I want a custom pickguard for my San Dimas HSS. Maybe I'll shoot them a message
Thanks man

The red one has had a makeover since the picture was taken. I put a new black pickguard on it, and installed a mini-switch for the pickups. The original switch position is now a Stellartone ToneStyler. I dumped the stock Dimarzio pickups for a pair of Duncans, a Pearly Gates neck and a Custom Custom bridge. The volume knob is a push/pull to split both coils. I love this guitar! Not only does it feel and play great, but it sounds killer too and with my mods I can get tons of tones.
The green one is almost stock. I replaced the plastic pickup surrounds with black metal ones. I changed the magnet in the bridge JB to an alnico 8. Now it's louder, meaner, has more mids and no ice-pick top end ever. Lows are still as tight as a California coed's gluts! I'm starting to play this one more now, as the red one started getting all my attention after I got it.
I like how I've diversified my mods. The guitars feel the same in my hands, and balance the same on straps. Yet each has its own distict sonic personality.Last edited by cvansickle; 08-18-2010, 08:18 AM.Death Or Glory - Who Dares Wins
