Ok so most remember I got that 750XL on eBay that had no hardware. Well shes together now... but we got to talking over in efraid about the woods in the solid colored 750's, and the origonal owner saying it never sounded very good. I just found the pic I took before putting the whole guitar together.
The neck pickup cavity had some wood removed, so I went and cleaned it up and this is what I found. Note the darker wood on the TOP. Obvously the TOP is Mahogony... cant really tell what the body wood is... not much grain, light in color.
Sound wise, its a pretty muddy guitar. Ive gone through two J80's in it, the second one being better than the first, but its still not quite how Id like it to sound. The bridge pickup almost sounds like a neck pickup on most other guitars but a little brighter.
Interesting eh? Its time for some EMG's.
