Finally up and running

[Acidhouse]

Well after a little while, I finally pieced my Dinky together. You can check this thread that I hijacked for the background. My thought was buy a neck off of the bay. I did. But then I found an early 90s P4 for sale locally by someone who turned out to be a member of this board. He had removed the pickups but did include some others he had laying around. The pickups are some good no names. Anyway, I placed the Performer neck on the green body tried to set it up myself, like I always do. Failed miserably and then brought it in to my favorite Guitar repair shop.

The neck I ordered came and it was the wrong scale my fault I just read that it was a Jackson replacement neck and didn't actually bother to take their measurements and see if it would work. I'm glad I bought the P4. The body of the P4 looks nice so I will probably keep it, work on getting p'ups in it and replace the FR that I stole from it. Overall, I probably spent way more than what it would have cost me to buy one complete but it was cool to watch it all come together.

I am glad the guitar worked out for you. It looks pretty nice.

Sometimes that happens financially, but seeing it progress is part of the fun of building your own. What's a few extra bucks? I blow enough $$ for an import on a good night at the bar.:ROTF:

Thanks Alvin. It was great meeting you. I will post pics when your old trans blue gets put back together. Hopefully before the decade ends.

[Acidhouse]

Thanks RacerX. Also, thanks for your help in answering the last post. It seems I keep reading how you have a thankless job. Well you get my thanks.

Dude, I didn't do anything in here, in fact, I see Alvin caught the correct model. But, give me the ser# on whatever plate you have and I'll consult my crystal ball!


(Is the plate from the PS-4 or from the DKMG?)
