    Poor mans Soloist

    OK guys, I'm just curious, what do you think about my project axe? I got this model 5 "bare bones" from Budman and it was definitely used but not totally thrashed so I did some paint work and a few mods. It now has all chrome hardware, two j90c's, and a PRS wiring scheme. Man, this thing really plays and sounds sweet and since I couldn't afford a Soloist or a PRS it was the ticket for me. There was quite a bit of filling and refin work required to make the chrome pickup rings and j90's look decent but whaddya think? I guess its kind of a mutt now but what the hell!
    My goal in life is to be the kind of asshole my wife thinks I am.

        Very smart, man. I'd take that in a heartbeat. Despite what some around here say, I think chrome hardware on a black axe looks really sharp. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

            looks really great!!! I bought a model 6 for exactly the same reason why you bought a model 5: a soloist is to expensive and will do the same mods like you did [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

                <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Nice try [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] But I am not ever letting it go.It might not me highly collectible and worth BIG money. But it was my first real guitar an it has sentimental value . [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

                  Wow, that looks sweet with the black and chrome! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img] I'd like to have it, but, uh, well, I don't touch anything with a Kahler! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                        I've watched that guitar from the time that Dave bought it and the transformation is amazing. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
