Nah I just forgot Gibsons were passives until I saw the 500k pot and lack of battery.

What do active pups have? 250k pots?

If you put some humbucker sized P90s in there you could do some awesome Santana stuff.

Wood stain could look really nice with that.

25 - 50 I think.

Also Bones if you're thinking about upgrading and have some serious money to drop: https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/main/pickups.php?cat=humbuckers

Too expensive

Anyway, paint's gone. Getting a quote from a luthier tomorrow before I try it myself.

Also, I ordered my pots. Bourns 500k and 3/4". Two are push/pull for the coil split. I'll order the p'ups tomorrow. I've decided on the pearly gates for the neck, but I'm between the JB, custom, and distortion for the bridge.

Well. I just ordered a pair of bare knuckle blackhawks. After I realized what they do and how clear they are, I'll regret not using them.

Dude nice, I had been eyeing those myself. Alnico or Ceramic?

Bones4 · January 31, 2014, 10:59:21 AM

Ceramic bridge, alnico neck.

Since I'm upgrading hardware, I've decided to change the color of said hardware. I'm thinking natural finish still, but with black hardware to match my pickups. This is my professional photoshop illustration. Opinions?

Menen · February 03, 2014, 02:22:57 AM

What color do you think you will do for the finish?

Bones4 · February 03, 2014, 02:23:49 AM

Either natural or a very light brown burst.

Bester Bageler · February 03, 2014, 06:53:44 AM

Great now go with a flashy hotrod red.

ShadowsfeaR · February 03, 2014, 10:12:51 AM

Wow vry profesionl edit. Anyway, the light browburst might actually look really nice.

you would buy the best sounding guitar in existence even if it was hot pink, shaped like a snake, and called you a friend every ten minutes?

like insulting form of insulting or hot and demeaning form of insulting? either way I wouldn't

dorkdotdan · February 03, 2014, 10:23:03 AM

I think a TV Yellow/Blonde transparent lacquer would look really nice.

plus it won't really age because it's already yellow.
