Oh alright. I'm not really into Pink Floyd, so I didn't know that.

It has a rehab story.

The neck bolts go straight into metal too for the sustains...

Oh damn! That is very interesting! Thanks for the scoop.

Killer Strat, Andrew! Welcome to ILF.

This short scale Hondo has been my main instrument (aside from my acoustic) for several months now.
Neck feels real nice and the pick-up is microphonic and bassy as fuck.
When it get warmer I'm painting it black & gold.

After one show with this, yeah, it's taken the #1 slot in the arsenal.

RAD!!! Looks awesome, dude!

Rad indeed, I wanna play that shit. What are those pickups like?

Thanks guys, the pickups are lace Alumitones. Some video was shot of the show and there's a nice close up of the guitar at about 1:12 into it. Sound is bad and it's not my favorite song we do, but shows off the thing getting played. its here if anyone is interested- https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=455267941267716

This is why I like this thread better than the show us your guitar one. The tape, the bumps and bruises. That is a guitar that is alive and a story to tell. My bassist turned to me the other day with his (newish) ric and an excited look on his face. "Look, she's starting to wear!" and sure enough the paints almost down to wood where he rests his hand and also on the back. real wear, not relicing, makes them more appealing to me.

1980 SG2000
It's worn... seen its fair share of drops to the floor over its life I imagine, being so heavy, the underside is dented to hell.
For a while I was craving more grunt from the bridge, and stuck a BKP Warpig in there. But missed the 'open' sounding dynamics of the stock HB, one of the best pickups I've ever heard. So back to stock.

Agreed! For some reason those 65 reissues wear down faster than the 62 reissues. Type of laquer I guess.
It looks more tired now than when I took that pic.
The 62avri was my favorite for the longest time, but now I'm loving the thicker neck of this one. As well as the better neck angle resulting in less bridge trouble.
