Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

[RobRR]

An unexpected project at that... I got a new neck for my project Charvel Rhoads Ive been talking about, but once it got here, it was just too damn nice to chop up and do what I needed to with it. So, I did this instead.

This was my stock DR3... my first Jackson ever, very dear to my heart. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]



Now, it consists of:
Duncan JB TB4
Duncan Jazz SH4n
CTS 1meg/ohm pots, 2 volume no tone
JT580LP
Gotoh Tuners
100% rewired and shielded
Super Slinky 9-42 (figured Id give them a try)
Dinky Rev. maple/maple neck

Here are the new pics, enjoy! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]








Just finished her up, not off to bed to be up in 4 hours! [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img] If ya cant tell, I enjoy wiring. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Also, a Floyd Pro is in the VERY near future...

Very nice. Where/how did you pick up that sweet neck?

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

After having several fingerboards I have come to like maple the best.

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

Got it on eBay... The guy didnt have any pictures of it posted, and he didnt take paypal... so it wasnt going anywhere. I emailed him, he sent me the pics, and I promptly hit the BIN. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Plays very well too... sustain for daaaaays, sounds great!

Very nice job Rob. I'm almost ready to put my Mod 3-A back together and the wiring is the part I'm dreading.

Awsome I like it. I'm really starting to dig Trans Blue

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

I dig that. How well does that neck line up with that pocket? I snagged a DX10 / Dinky Reverse mutt like that and there's a little overhang. I'm considering fixing it by adjusting the pocket.

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

The neck fit nice and snug, PERFECT... better than the factory neck that was on it! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

Does that original neck have mop jackson logo on it or is it painted?

[RobRR]

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

Painted. Whats strange is, all markings on the neck and body indicate this guitar was built in October 91 as they are both stamped "10/1"... I bought it new, but alot later than 91 considering I didnt start playing till 95 or 96, and didnt buy this till 97 or 98.

Re: Just finished a new project! (dialup beware)

???

I'm not understanding how you get October of 91 from "10/1". My impression is that the number means October 1st of whatever model year that was, I'm guessing maybe 93 or later.
