kasama ba yung Asian chix sa package? hehe :)

nice Strat. actually, i think natry ko yang guitar mo mismo a few weeks ago nung dumaan ako sa Van Ness :) i especially liked the bridge pickup's tone. tulo laway ko nung nakita ko dun yung former dream guitar ko, yung PRS Modern Eagle in faded blue jean satin finish... ohhhlala!  :-o

try a plain black pickguard. bagay yun sa guitar mo :)

Post by: soundslikebryan on April 18, 2007, 02:36:38 PM
Salamas sa lahat. Excited ako ngayon woot!!woot!! Gusto ko yung Amber Sunburst, kaya lang hindi available sa highway 1. gusto ko yung tone ng 4th setting, with the single coil and the humbucker. Ang kulit din saba nung deluxe kaya lang duda pa ko dun sa switching technology. Parang yung bagong modeling strat. Libre yung strap, he he, pati yung gig bag.

thx Poundcake, levitate, pallas, radiostationexp at shekoski. I'll stick to the pickguard for awhile. Pero mukhang ayps nga yung black :-D

kelangan ko naman ng amp ngayon, he he

astig ah, pano mo ginawa yun?

sabi sa review manipis lang daw yung paint finish, so after a few months eh natural daw na magpe-fade. So depende sa pag-gamit mo yung 'pagluma'.

Ayan, gusto ko na tuloy umuwi at maglaro, kaya lang 2 hours pa ko dito sa office, buisit.

it was a personal thingy that lead me to relic my guitar... hehehe... got some xtra money(like what you had) last holiday season and just bought some copper foils, soldering iron set, black plastic parts for my strat and some sand papers...

the relicin' process is just simple... pwede kang mamili sa 1.bakbak or 2.liha
mas credible ang hitsura pag binakbak mo ang paint, mala SRV ang dating, then i liha mo lang ng konti yung edges... para syempre hindi ka mainjure sa big flakes of paint ng gitara mo.
kapag niliha mo lang lahat mag mumukha syang parang nalusaw yung paint dahil sa pawis...
and also if ur not a smoker (well i'm not) but you want a cig butt burnt headstock... just go to the nearest inuman gigs sa kalye ninyo and ask for a used cig then ipit mo sa headstock and let it burn... hehehehe

so you decide what kind of relicin' you want...

there's a site na nakita ko lang ngayon about how to relic ur guitar ala SRV http://www.srvguitar.com/DIY.html
galing nang pag kakagawa neto

ayos... chrome red ang sa akin with gold (ung 2nd coat 3rd coat is chrome red and first coat is natural) hehehe... kaya this is the only solid colour that i'll buy... mas gusto ko transparent para kita ko yung grain at quality ng wood.

Up ko lang, me kelangan lang kasi akong malaman galing sa mga master.

Ok ba talaga yung locking tuners? Saka nag-wo-work ba talaga yung fat finger?

One more thing, I saw a pickholder dun sa gitara ni sir Poundcake, anong brand yun and san makakakuha nun?

Salamat in advanced!!!

Crybaby 95Q Wah yan ok yan... if you want switchless, electro-optical operated wah, go for a Morley!

yes ok yung locking tuners, makes string change fast and easy. I'm planning to get Schaller Locking tuners for my PRS SE.

yung pickholder, marami ka makikita nyan I think Dunlop yung kay bossing Poundcake.

EDIT:

hindi kaya si blues2death na forumite natin yung kasali King of The Blues? nabasa ko sa isang thread sumali sya eh...
