My 92 DKEX project(pic heavy)

[thunderhead]

Having a hangover and got nothing better to do... so i thought id put some pics of my Jackson Project-ish guitar.

Got this of ebay for 106£+postage i think. The guy who was selling it bought it as a project guitar but never had the time to finish it.

When i bought finish was raughly sanded off. It had a really bad shaped pickguard on it and the pickups werent connected. It was a HSH configured guitar with 2 JS-5 humbuckers and a J-110 single pickup.

Since the pickguard was f****d ordered one of sims custom and finished the sanding job of the body.

Didn't bother using the stock pickups (im really curious how they sound at the moment to be honest) and got a Seymour Duncan Pearly gates for the neck position and a Custom Custom for the bridge.

Used a Seymour Duncan diagram so i could use the pickups as split/series or parallel individualy. Both pickups has their own volume pot and it does not have a tone pot on in (who needs it anyway ).

I thought about get a Kahler 7330 instead of the Floyd but i think ill just get a tremol-no now.

And when i get some extra cash ill get it finished in white.

Here are the photos.

This is how she was when i got it,




This is how she looks like at the moment,

hey drunkenhead , change those knobs with black ones right this instant ! And buy a soloist already !

[thunderhead]

Hahah!

Ive got black ones on it. Family photo coming in a bit!

[Newc]

JS-5 and J-110? You're not missing out on anything

The Duncans sound tons better, trust me.

As i said...got nothing better to do

Took a couple of photos just now,

[dogueboy]

Nice pics

Nice job, it now has almost as many knobs & switches as my project rhoads http://www.jcfonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76013 (one knob short actually) .... but the versatility in tone is well worth it, especially if they don't interfere with standard wiring/functionality.

Oh and Peavey make some good basses. I have a NTB5 here and i'm quite impressed by the overall quality of that instrument, for the price i paid.

I think that looks pretty cool. I dig tortoise shell pick guards.

.... but the versatility in tone is well worth it

Yeah you can get so mant different sounds out of it + having so many switches feels great Its like flying a plane hah!

...and yes Peavey makes good stuff. Not only bass guitars.

Imagine that red tortoise on a white finish

Go ahead with the decision of selling the Peavey and get a Soloist

Btw I like the 3 string bass, it's funny how you have more switches on the dinky than the strings you have on your bass

screw white, what it needs to be finished is in natural or a walnut stain.

+1 here. Like the natural finish, but not crazy with the pick gaurd. Not sure what color I'd use, but that one ain't it. Nice looking Axe tho.

[Drazden]

I love it in natural with the tortoise. It's a sleeper shredder; nobody'll know what hit 'em till after you've melted their faces!

[thunderhead]

you've melted their faces!

Which reminds me of this video...:ROTF:
