Gold RR, new pickups, what do you think? PICS

[StukaJU87]

OK. I love this guitar. It had Jackson j50's, which did nothing for me. Dave Budman made me a couple pickup rings and I installed new pickups. JB bridge/Alnico neck. It sounds great now. I think it looks badass. Opinions???

Dude that is one helluva nice Rhoads! Love the color and string thru body, how would you rate the action compared to a RR with a OFR?

Re: Gold RR, new pickups, what do you think? PICS

Thanks guys. Jafis, the action is great. Low, but not crazy low. It seems to have a bit less string tension than my Floyded Jacksons. I use D'Addario 9-42 on every guitar I have. This one has thin fret wire, unlike all my other Jacksons.

Thanks TJ. The minute Tony (charveljunkie) posted pics of this when he got it I pm'd him and begged that if he ever sold it, I would like to buy it. I can't thank him enough. It really is a nice guitar and my favorite player.

I kept the original j50's and pickup rings, for collectability's sake, since they are spec'd on the hang tag.

Awesome, that is a cool color and it looks great with the Budman rings.

It looks perfect!
How do you like JB in the bridge?
My Chris Holmes Replica Rhoads has JB in the bridge.
I love it!
Some people say JB in the Rhoads sounds weak. not to me though.

Love the zebras! And Budman's rings look killer, too. No wide gaps.

<font color="aqua">Man, that looks killer Scott! When it gets nice outside, ya have to get some shots of it outdoors as I'm sure that gold would be gorgeous in the sun.

I have dibs on that one if no one else does (make sure you fill out the index card and put it in the case [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]). </font>
