Congratulations! I have a 2009 R7 Goldtop I bought around $2k USD and installed a set of Duncan Antiquities. I have a BB7 as well, I'm not really a big fan of the color of gold but the deal was too good to pass up. The guitar is tough to put down once you pick it up, nice fat 57 neck profile and...
I started using Q-tips in each ear after showering about 10-12 years or so. I basically dry the inside of the ear and I don't put a lot of pressure. This prevents wax build up for me. I've known people that any over the counter or home trick wouldn't work and they had to have the pressure squirt...
I love that new neck. Project looks really cool. I think I'd like it little more with a pickguard to give it some a traditional tele look and add contrast , could have went (parchment or black/white/black).
I've had a VHT 50CL w/EQ + Reverb and a FB 4x12's with P50E's since 2004 and I still have both and no plans to get rid of it...killer amp so I love VHT ;)
I only put them in the case when they leave the house. I have a dozen hanging on the wall, 6-8 in a rack and few siting around propped up against the amp wall.
pretty much useless since F-spaced pickups came out.
Personally they bug me and I'd never own a guitar with a slanted bride pickup unless it is a standard strat pickup although I thought Jake E Lee's mid ans neck look kinda cool slanted
Callaham makes good stuff for sure. Update the thread when you have it all together. I have one of their steel TP's for LPs
I wish I had the build...I slapped together a bunch of Charvel clones from Musikraft parts. I got burnt out on it and just want to play guitars, build them.
I can't really answer other than any band that has cookie monster vocals. I know I miss out on some pretty good guitar work as I'm out as soon as I hear that vocal style/
what type of tuners came with the guitar? Try searching eBay I'm sure you'll find them. You can also check witg STRATospher on eBay who parts out all sorts of guitars info@stratosphereparts.com
