This guitar is the first new guitar I bought with my own money a long LONG time ago. She started out a metallic bright pearl white guitar with a non locking trem, 1 shitty humbucker, 1 vol and 1 tone knob.
It saw many mods over the years and as I did those mods I found out it was indeed a plywood body so not too much care was taken in my mods as many were done with a hammer, chisel and sandpaper. Over the years I stripped the face and stained it blue, installed a slanted single coil, locking nut and recessed Floyd Rose trem. I did carefully scallop from the 13th to the 24th frets by hand with a pencil wrapped in various grades of sandpaper. She has seen much abuse thru the years. Still have some sentimental attachment to it, so it's time to make something of her.
That bottom point was broken after being thrown down a flight of basement stairs into a block wall and cement floor....other than that it was fine...lol
Going to fill the trem and locking nut routes and will either fill the single coil cavity or open it up for a humbucker. I want to install a bone nut and a kahler fixed bridge.....gonna be a work in progress.......
