  • NGD!! A treat from Japan

    It is so rare that I post something on here anymore. But now I have a reason to do it. I've received a new guitar. It is a Jackson SS1.
    I wanted a 24.75" scale guitar and was looking at Jackson and Charvel Fusions as wel as Gibsons when I came across this one. It insanely cheap as the pickups have a touch of rust,
    the same goes for the knobs, the tone and volume pot are two different type (I can't hear the difference

    The plan is to give it some TLC and make it proper singer. Due to the fact that it was cheap and the neck feels really good I'm going to give it new pick ups and rewire the the whole thing
    with coil tapping. It is also getting locking tuners and and I'm going to replace the slightly rusted bridge.

    Nice! You don't really see too many of those around.
    I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

        Thank you. I haven't come across one untill I stumbeled onto this on evilBay. I don't know yet what kind of pickups are going in. I was thinking DiMarzios Air Classic Bridge and Neck for something that isn't super hot. I am going to use split pots on it to get some single coil action going on.
