I modded my Blacktop Baritone

[voerking]

got rid of the original pickups.
installed a Dimarzio Virtual PAF in the bridge.
eliminated the neck & middle pups, and went with a blank Warmoth pickguard.
also nixed the tone control for a one pickup/one knob rock machine.
got a blank control plate from GFS & drilled it for the single knob. (props to skullservant for inspiration from his Telemaster)
added some strap locks.
now it's ready for full on rock de(con)struction.

FUCK YES MINIMALIST DECONSTRUCTION!

[colossus]

Fucking excellent. My tele baritone is pretty similar. I think I may remove the tone knob.

[skullservant]

Man I want to put another guitar together now. Sheesh

[colossus]

If I acted on those impulses every time I had them, I could open up a Guitar Center.

[skullservant]

I think the only way I would put a new one together is if I made a Baritone. I kinda miss having my baritone around

Wow the simplicity of it is beautiful. Plug and rock machine. Great job. I'm usually always a proponent of minimalism.

Nice! Looks so clean

[greyscales]

I really didn't like the standard pickup selection on these but this looks great. Much cleaner and probably heavy as fuck.

[Bon Hoga]

Awesome

[kbit]

Very sweet

[voerking]

thanks dudes! very stoked on how it turned out.
the only other thing i'm tempted to do is upgrade the stock tuners - but they're holding tuning just fine, currently, so i'm in no big rush.

How do you feel about the humbucker/baritone combo? Not too muddy?

not in the bridge for sure.
