Parts Monster

[Mr. Poon]

Finally finished my parts monster today. Charvel Predator body, Customwoods neck, original Floyd, EMG 81. I might grab an EMG SA at some point, at which time the toggle switch will become operational again. Got everything off Ebay and spent less than $400 total. It's just thrown together so far, but already plays great. The neck is awesome. I just need to finalized the setup (string height is off, Floyd needs to be tinkered with a bit, etc) and chase down a buzz and it's ready to rock.





Revised family shot (minus the Ovation)



Special thanks to Travis for his excellent advice and for putting up with countless questions, many of which asinine.

I didn't do anything to the neck- that's the way it showed up from Ebay. It does have some nice graining, though.

It's a Firebrand model. I bought it new in '81, still have the original pickups.
