:erm: Not gonna put that much effort into this. I'll post 'em as I see 'em. :snax:

Yeah, agree about that Gibson. Don't know the story beyond what's in the seller's description. It's a total hack job though. May look good from a distance, but it's still a shame it got hacked up like that.

Here’s my beloved Haguar :animal:

Not pictured... the righty neck or the deep gouges in the back from when 20 year old me tried to sand off the sloppy putrid pink paint job. Seriously, it looked like a Shopkins cake and the Toxic Avenger made brutal angry love...

A happy accident!
I rewired the tone knob as the volume for the behind the bridge, but it’s out of phase with other three.
When it’s at full volume, the sound is choked and incredibly thin.
It totally rips with layers of loopy fuzz!

Chank is such a hack at finding hacks. I endorse most of theses examples.

My blacktop jazzmaster ended up out of phase in the middle position which was a fun surprise. I should post gut shots of the soldering jobs inside my guitars. I just kinda glob it on till things stick together and pass a signal :erm:
