When I was growing up in the hair metal era, my dream was a custom finished Jackson or Charvel guitar. Years later this popped up and I had to make it happen. Sounds amazing through a Mesa Mk V. Pickups are a Duncan Custom with an Alnico 8 magnet and a Cool Rails.

ESP Modded my Les Paul, I dub thee the Jeefburst

I was sure about selling this guitar, but one night I suddenly put this old Bigsby I had lying around and I thought it sucked functionally (it was a b700), but the look really grew on me cause it looked like Keith Richards’ LP. So I got a proper B7 like the one I have on my epi 355 cause it felt amazing and I don’t mind having a little wobble action. I took the cream guard off but I suddenly remembered Jeff Beck’s Les Paul with the black pickguard and thought that was cool. Got the guard today and I’m stunned. It’s a bit of a weird look, but I’m attracted to how slightly odd it looks. Long story short, I’m no longer selling the Jeefburst😋

Refretted with jumbo stainless and modded with new pickups and wiring. I was so desperate for one of these that I ordered this one from Japan. Price was decent, but of course a used one popped up locally a week after for less… Oh well… this one is great though.

Got wicked lucky! Found this ol girl on FB marketplace today and somehow was the first one to message him. Has a small headstock repair (rock solid job on it) and is beat up, but it plays like butter! New workhorse for me 😎

Semi-Hollow Finally Happy with my Reverend!

I bought a Reverend Spacehawk (The Reeves Gabrels) model with two pickups a few years back. Loved the look, the weight, the feel. It played like a dream. But something about it just didn't click for me.

I nailed it down to the pickups. The "Railhammer" pickups it came with. I didn't like the look of them, and they sounded really ... sterile. People have talked up this 'bass contour' feature on the electronics too, but it never sounded good to my ears.

So I went on a search for something new, and found vineham.com Canadian dude who custom wires his stuff. On his suggestion, I got one of his Whiskey Burners in the bridge, and a V59 in the neck. From what I understand, they are PAF based? But I'm no pickup scientist.

When I installed the pickups, I completely redid the electronics as well. One volume, a tone for the neck 22nf, a tone for the bridge 22nf, and each a push/push. When down, the pickup is in parallel. When up, the pickup is in series. The guitar originally had a kill switch (blech). I rewired it to be a "blowout" switch. Flick it on and the bridge pickup in series is dumped straight to the output, bypassing everything. Instant biting solo tone!

The wiring diagram is a bit messy, but it went in OK. Learned the lesson to route all the wires you can before fitting the pickups in. Guitars like this have a lot of wires running to the switches through the pickup cavities.

Now this guitar is my GO TO when I wanna sit and jam for a bit. The pickups sound incredible! Craig at vineham.com did such a wonderful job. (Not a sponsor, just really impressed).

So what do y'all think of the railhammer pickups or the bass contour on the Reverends?
Any other vineham fanboys here?

Thanks for listening!

Gibson Painted Rig (Gibson + Fender + Music Man)

‘71 Gibson SG-250
‘05 MIJ Fender Jazzmaster
‘71 Music Man HD130 1x16 (might have been custom built? I’ve never seen another of these in 1x16 format and the housing is old with the schematics pasted inside, kickstands probably installed later)

Never gonna sell it. Why not make it mine? Case painted by me, Jazzmaster by my bud Dave Lynch (no relation), and Amp by my bud Patricia Faulkner.

My old band used to have people paint our bodies before each show. Because my friends contributed to their unique looks, they mean even more to me. Reminders of friends I don’t see anymore and a reckless youth spent in sweaty/smokey house shows.
