I made some changes to the Dirge Telemaster so I thought I'd share a new pic....
I swapped out the squier jazzie neck for an old Jagmaster neck I had lying around, I like it more because its thicker and wider and has the big headstock. I also added brass compensated tele saddles to dial in the intonation, and then adjusted the pickup screws to balance out the string response since its a neck p/u only guitar. It sounds so thick but not uber low heavy, and the articulation improved. SUPER fvcking happy with it right now.

SFTCCPP (sorry for the crappy cell phone pic)
eBayed parts guitar. Body is kinda like a Jackson Kelly, but it's not. It's a work in progress: the EMG "Select" is a shitty pup but it was around when I needed something to throw in it. I have a Dimebucker that's gonna go in its place. The Babicz whamaloo bar is the shit though, great replacement for a Fender style whalmdingey. Ultimately there will be stereo out with a homemade bass pickup in the neck hole, as for my Bacteria setup I have a split and pitch-shifted signal dealy. Right now my main hatchet is a no-name strat copy, a style of guitar I never thought I'd be into until I found a drop-in pickguard/pup assembly with a single humby and vol knob, which changed my whole perspective. But anyway, this is my metal fucking guitar from heck.

I needed a name for the file, and "shredder", "gnar-gnar" and "pussy-dissecting thrash machine" were too long.

No, SLAPCHOP's as good as any. I like it.

They'll piss my friend off, so they're probably worth it. Actually that's a definite purchase now.
Revamped the 'lectronics tonight -- put a contact mictwo contact mics on the underside of the trem plate and pickguard; they and the pickup are either on or off now. So really there are three contact mics. I wish they were a little louder.
Also put the springs back in because I found out that the oversized arm I ordered and couldn't use on the other guitar fits this one, yaaaay. Embarrassingly, this guitar stays almost perfectly in tune after abusing the vibrato...I love the SGV but it's a pain in the ass to configure to the point where it isn't fucked after some gazin'.
Liquid flux is the shit. Dip a wire in it before soldering and it's tinned the instant the iron touches it. It leaves marks on aluminum surfaces though...
You have a full body shot of this thing? Looks killer!

Yep (older):
I fixed the terribly high action by putting a few folded up pieces of thin cardboard in the neck pocket...should be okay as long as I don't drown it. It's really fun to play, I like the simplicity.
Also I sharpie'd the rounded edge of the headstock because those old Marauder/Starcaster ones are cool

Yeah I have some nice outdoor shot setups in my backyard, I love taking photos in front of that tree. And dude it plays sooo freakin sweet now, I strung it with .11-.54's in E standard and its awesome. You have to come by sometime soon and check it out now, honestly the biggest difference was adjusting the pickups pole pieces even with a bassy high gain pickup theres no mud at all and all the notes ring out lcearly.

I think THAT p90 is why I expect the Obstructures 90's to be so fucking mean. The Telemasters is SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
I miss .12's
