veatch Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Great idea on the A7. But if you mod all of those ex-GR equipped gits, i won't be able to sell my GM70... Fine work, sir. Fine work indeed.

marcnorth Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Cool stuff, I also love these threads. The explorer looks awesome. I can't wait to see the finished product.
MCChris Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 This is gonna be badass to the 10th power... Can I call dibs already? I believe I might have dibs by default, but it doesn't matter as I'd be shocked to see him ever sell it.
bcsride Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I can never get enough of these threads. Love it.
cmatthes Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I believe I might have dibs by default, but it doesn't matter as I'd be shocked to see him ever sell it. You could always commission your own version of that one...
BadgerDave Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 and... Wow! Freaking Wow! To quote Flounder:
kizanski Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I believe I might have dibs by default, but it doesn't matter as I'd be shocked to see him ever sell it. Both true. You could always commission your own version of that one... Nah, that won't be necessary. It will be loaned to him at some point.

The Shark Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 One pickup guitars keep me focused. Can't wait to see this one....
BadgerDave Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Whats's the scoop on the Ric? Always loved the look of seafoam on a Ric...Essentially, it's an attempt to make a Rickenbacker guitar usable as a modern instrument. The simple stuff: Adding Jason Lollar pickups, a Mastery bridge and disconnecting the Ric pickup blend control.The controversial stuff: Stripping the poly from the rosewood board, refretting with medium jumbo frets and not putting any finish back on the fretboard.It's a 660, so the neck has a playable width, and the profile is in the acceptable medium range for me.I was tired of riding the Rickenbacker carousel: see a beautiful Ric . . . buy it . . . plug it in and remember tthat new Rics don't sound like old Rics . . . Play it more and remember that anything other than open cowboy chords are physically challenging. Try to bend a string - fail. realize that the pickups are still crap. Put it in the case, wait six months and sell it. See a beautiful Ric . . . . . .
