i bought this guitar when it was 6 months old in '99 from a friend. i stripped it and painted it 5 times since then. i also installed EMG's in 2002 and wired it like a les paul. in 2007 i took it apart and planned on a customization/restoration.
i'm just now getting around to it.
the plan is to build a new body out of mahogany or maple with a quilt top. i'm using an 81TW at the bridge and a pair of P-60 mini humbuckers in the neck and middle position. i'm using a master tone, 1 volume for bridge, 1 volume for neck/middle and a 6 way rotary switch.
i havent decided on a color yet. i'm painting the back and sides black and considering either dividing the top and side color with binding or just fading from black to the stain color like my current MH-350NT. right now i'm thinking aqua blue, dark orange, dark red, etc.
i ordered this yesterday.
it was originally black until 2000 when i stained it blue (no pic)
then i painted it black again in 2001
it was this color from 2003-2005
then i stripped it again and left it like that until 2006.
then i did a practice silver burst job (terrible) until i took it apart in 2007
