finished "project" model 6 matrix style

[guitar geek]

finally, after 9 months of waiting and working on it it is finally finished: my completely modified to the bone model 6. the mods:

1. JT6 out -> schaller floyd in
2. stringlock off -> schaller top nut installed
3. beaten to hell finish off -> new coat with airbrush on
4. old PU's out -> new PU's installed (all passive)
5. 3 toggles gone -> 5 way switch and 1 "add bridge PU" switch

the PU's are a DiMarzio Steve's Special, SD li'l 59 (middle) and a li'l screamin demon (neck). Love the last one in particular! smooth on normal gain settings, defined on high gain settigns and warm clean: perfect with the right amount of output!!

the finish, airbrush, switch and toplockreplacement were done by Fred Dons (another Dutch JCF Member).

but somehow I am not able to post all the f&*)g pictures, and with other boards it works fine [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] , every time I get the warning the board does not support "Parenthesis in HTML tag tag... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]



anyway, this is it [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

That looks pretty badass. It seems like the wait was worth it. Question, though, what do you mean by "add bridge PU" switch? Is that so you can combine the bridge PU with neck or neck/mid? That sounds most logical to me.

With the original three on/off switches that were there before, you already had the option of any pickup combo. I'm actually having a Jackson body refinned that had a five-way, the three on/offs will be installed. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I only use the bridge or neck PU and want to be able to switch quick from bridge to neck. the 3 switches made that pretty awkward, at least I didn't like it. I think I will use the switch not to add the bridge, but to split the bridge PU.
it's just a matter of taste [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
