I bring you one of the more hated gibson guitars, the Jonas brothers signature Melody Maker:
It is a great guitar but the JB thingy was just awful so it had to go.
It was a really strange feeling to mess up a brand new guitar but i have no remorse of doing it
Alot more work is needed and a few parts need to be changed. I'm gonna replace the bridge pickup with a Bare knuckle pig 90 and get a pigtail-bridge. mabe i'll change the pots and wires to, we'll see.
Later i will try to etch in my favourite poem on the front and mabe something else.
Mabe i'm a bit crazy but i like it as it looks right now, a no-nonsense rock machine.
Edit: did some work on the paint today....now it looks like this.
Edit nr 2 (or 3...) zombie thread!
The guitar is done and turned out great.
Stripped all of the paint, painted it brown. Oiled in the neck and exchanged the pickups to a thorn GT-90 in the neck and a Bare knuckle pig-90 (alnico V) in the bridge.
Tuned it in C. high output p90 -->thin mahogany body = win!
tried it out on my Laney Klipp (+2x12, loaded wth 2 canabis rex's) and a RAT. it's pretty much the best tone i ever had!
Riffed out for atleast 4minutes (!) before my neighbours knocked on the door...... oh well.....tomorrow is another day
