I'm at 3 electrics now, one being a potential sell or project
my warbeast since early 1997, a closeout sale 1996 SG Standard. I ate ramen for about 2 months after. It is tuned in C# or standard most of the time
I've had this next guitar a year or two and it is still kind of in project status. It is a 1972 electra 2242 super rock from japan. they were sued by gibson because its exactly like a 72' custom LP heh. Everything's original except the tuners. I love the neck pickup but the bridge pickup is weak (or I wreck the action cranking it up in height). was thinking perhaps of swapping the bridge pickup for something hotter, but that'd ruin the gold worn look :|
2 pics of this one with a closeup of its beautiful bindings,
and my 3rd and newest electric from 2012 which is probably my favorite at the moment. Found a sweet deal on CL for this mutant telecaster. It's a 06 usa hwy 1 body with a warmoth 10-16 compound neck (slims out noticeably around fret 12) and seymour duncan 59/jb pickups. the original owner routed the single coils out, put in graphtech saddles and vintage RI tuners (which i still hate btw, being a gibson guy for so long), 1 vol 2 tone knobs and a gibson 3 way switch, the whole works for $450. Since I've owned it, I had my favorite guitar shop re-wire the 2nd tone knob so I can pull it out for split coils, and had a warmoth pickguard put on there (which required some grinding to fit right but it is under the neck so who gives a shit). she might not be the prettiest thing ever but damn does it sounds good. obviously great with a lot fuzz or i wouldn't have boughten it!
