Mij dxmg

[Gingdalph]

Have aquired a Japanese built dxmg , it was really rough,
have redrilled and dowelled the neck holes ,reset the neck, stripped original paint butchered by last owner, removed the birch veneer and used a mix of black boot polish and beeswax to finish the body, finally fitted emg Zak Wilde pups , it's awesome and I love it . I'll try post pics asap

I have no idea how to add photos, any help please?

You need to use a hosting site to post your pics. I use imgur.com since it's free and pretty easy to use. Upload your pics there and copy a link into your threads here. I think a number of members here are using that site since photobucket.com started charging a fee. There are also some other free sites. I'm sure some guys will chime in about those.

Thank you , am a bit behind with technology it seems , anyhow, here's my guitar ,

[Gingdalph]

All the electronics are solderless and it has an emg three way switch, and a floyd rose trem-stop, will fit an original floyd rose soon , am also making the back plates from some copper plate, it's tuned to c standard where it will stay !

Welcome to the forum. Looks great with the natural finish!

Nice, looks like alder, thought the dxmgs were basswood

[Gingdalph]

It is alder , the earlier versions were made from alder , they went to basswood around 2006 I believe ...

Looks great. I even like the knobs and I usually only go for black.

[Gingdalph]

Thanks, I was on a budget , hence the finish, the knobs are made of boxwood

[Mudlark]

I've only recently became a fan of natural tops and I prefer something that looks 'distressed' or old/worn.
Like an old board from a barn or wooden boat.
Yours has that vibe.

Black boot polish highlights the imperfections in the alder, am going to flatten off the finish on the back of the neck and char it slightly ... If I can find another dx I'll take a different approach and use three or four single coils for a different sound

That turned out nice. Damn good save!

I would love to have my MIJ DXMG back. Incredible guitar.
