A lot of these parts were either given to me or taken from other guitars. The neck was a whole $30. but i like it.


The bridge pickups are in series so humbuggy

This thread deserves a necro bump!

My buddy dropped off a no name Les Paul earlier this week that he was no longer using and was planning on getting rid of. It doesn't work too well and short circuits all the time, but I'm going to fix it up to be a dedicated beater/weird ass tuning guitar:

I'm incredibly tempted to replace the original neck with my Jazzmaster neck for literally no reason beyond the aesthetics. I've already got a proper Gibson bridge and a stop piece to toss into her too and I'm thinking of picking up a GFS Dream 180 humbucker for the neck and a Dream 90 P90 for the bridge. Not entirely sure if I'll try to refinish it or just cover it with stickers

That looks very similar to a Harmony H-90 that I have. The original "humbuckers" were actually single coils in a humbucker case. Kinda wish I had used them in something now since they were so weird.

Obviously not mine, The dude from Big Stick's Travis Bean. I love how it looks.

In the summer I wear my tube top, and Eddie takes me to the dragstrip.

No name full hollow body, I got the neck and the body with nothing on them for cheap, a friend painted it. I used parts I had laying around to finish it. On/off switch instead of any electronics. DiMarzio Billy Corgan in the bridge. Sounds ok.

I had a off brand LP knockoff that had that. I actually really liked the pups in it.
