Finally have my guitar Kicking ass and taking names... whew... stayed up till 6am working on it last night... her she is in all the glory of the sun!!!



So fucking happy to have that rats nest of a cobbled shit load of crap out and this kickass EMG set in... I will post some videos later.

very nice

Your work looks great. I get the impression that you care for this guitar

Oh btw., the agitator... I didn't know such a machine existed. Is it an oil bath and some high frequency "shaking"? That's it?

Yes I love this guitar have had it for 15 years and always case it and never treat it like shit. Thanks

Yes its a tray that sits in a tub that you can fill with whatever solution you desire, I used an auto parts De-greaser and water mixture, a high frequency speaker vibrates the tray rapidly to loosen all the dirt and rust and crap from the hard to reach places. After about an hour in the agitator I dried the parts with a heat gun and then sprayed them with DW40.

Worked out great... now I am debating doing the frets myself or taking it to someone. :think:

I don't do frets but allow me to give advice... Don't use this axe for your first ever fret job.

QFT. Very sound advice i would say.

[Nimitz]

Yeah man I know I know... I have my Harmony I can fuck with first...

Here are the Videos , First Bridge Distortion, Second Neck Clean

Mine too, I love the JE1500! Ive got plenty of EMG SA guitars, and I really dont like em all that much. Just not enough output. I dont know why EMG doesent come out with a hot single coil!

I have the Neck pickup and bridge pickup as close to the strings as possible EMG recommendation... no major volume loss really at all... now I have the Middle pickup low because that is where I am picking and yes having it far away from the strings does lose some volume... all in all it kicks ASS!!!

Very nice work Nimitz! Tis definitely clean in the cavity. I just got a Fusion Pro myself. It has a killswitch instead of the JE-1500 but I think I'm gonna have it wired to be a coil split

Nice playing \m/

Nimitz your getting a lot of buzz there that shouldn't be.

Wookieslayer, shouldn't the 5 way switch if that's what it is on yours be already doing a coil split?

I don't think so... either way it's not doing it because when the previous owner changed the preamp to a killswitch he didn't bother to wire the neck/middle pups correctly; at least theres a volume disparity / doesn't sound too great in the 2nd and 4th positions :shrug:

Never said I knew what I was doing...
