NGD Fender/Charvel Jake E. Lee replica

[projectx102]

Check it out, it has all the correct specs including: 1 piece swamp ash body,21 fret maple neck with rosewood fretboard w/skunkstripe and bullet truss rod adjuster. It has the 3 bolt Fender neck plate as well.Pickups are 2-Dimarzio SDS-1 single coils (slanted)and a Duncan JB.It also has a NOS Charvel brass bridge black chromed on the baseplate and the saddles are chromed.Oh and the tuners are black Gotoh's with the pearl buttons.So far it plays great with nice low action.I haven't plugged it in yet but will do shortly.

Sweet!!! If you really want to nail it, try to track down an old Duncan Holdsworth and swap out the JB.

You can buy those from the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop now, they're like $150 + a 6 week wait.. But i heard that pickup is supposed to sound amazing! Doug Aldrich had that pickup in his Strats for a long time, and i always felt he got his best tone during that time.

I think the only difference is a second row of screws.

I was also told the Holdsworth has Alnico 2 Magnets while the JB has Alnico 5

Ahhh ok.I actually found out it's not a JB in this one but an SH5 Custom.I played it at practice tonight and I love it! It was loud and agressive with a really nice tight bottom end but it still cleans up when you roll the volume knob down.This guitar has a killer tone.Very responsive and cuts through the band nicely without annoying top end.

Cool!

Did you do that yourself or order it somewhere?

 

[luxxtone]

Great guitar!! I absolutely worship Jake E. Lee since back in the day. He had such a unique style and great tone on the Bark at the Moon record and all the Badlands stuff.
