That mock-up looks awesome. It looks totally unique from most other guitars. My only gripe is the headstock, but I know that's a work in progress. Why not use a gumby headstock, I know a few people here other than me like it. Then again, I probably won't have the funds to order one, so my opinion do...

i def dont want to put the stock pickup back in because lo and behold- it was a strat style single coil on a bass. covered by a white sheath to hide it's true six-poled nature.... Yup, we took the one out of my friend's Bronco bass and threw it in the neck of my friend's strat. It sounded pretty go...

Bigsby FTW.

The bridge doesn't look right, but maybe it'd look better once it's all rigged up.

Ok, samples are up! :) I ended up recording right into the RC-2, but it didn't sound right. I messed around with it in Audition to get it to sound similar to what it sounds like after hitting the amp EQ. http://download.yousendit.com/A43F9C2B23F70573 Uhm, there are 3 different samples. It goes: Neck...

The GFS '59 PAF is awesome. I was afraid that at half the output of the JB, it would be a bad match, but I was wrong. Just had to make sure that the spacing would compensate things. Surprisingly enough, they're very close in height. Thanks to my RC-2, I'll be able to make some samples either tonight...

Whatever you do, don't get a lace red. They're just gross. More midrange than a fucking JB. Why not try a pair of hot golds or something if you're so set on Lace sensors. Or just get something with less resistance than red. They blow.

Just finished modding the shit out of my Jagmaster. Black pickguard on sunburst w/ black pickups and knobs and stuff. GFS PAF in the neck and a *gasp* JB in the bridge, replacing that awful Lace Sensor. Perfect combination for me, the trick with the JB is having a proper distance between the strings...

If you want to shell out the big $$, you could get lace chromes.

Looks pretty sweet. I'd definitely put one of those on my pedal board, even if it was just for the occasional, "Hey, what the hell is that thing, it looks AWESOME". :) Just a few things though: - Like the other guys said, the knobs are probably too close to the stomper. Even on my Little B...

My problem with it is that with lots of gain, you can hear the metronome for the tap tempo. Not really a big deal, but its kinda annoying.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I really need something like that, but I can't justify spending $120 on a real one. Maybe I'll stop by Home Depot sometime soon and try that out. Looks simple enough.

I bought an RC-2 when they first came out. It's got everything I need, but I just wish it was easier to delete a multi-layered loop on the fly. With this, you need to turn a knob, hit a button, and wait a few seconds. Single layer loops are easy to delete/undo delete, just hold down the pedal for a ...

Don't get a red dually, they have a really strange and unique sound. I guess that's what happens when you have a passive pickup with over 30.5k output. I'm not really thrilled with mine, but it's not terrible by any means. I've got it with a push/pull coil split, so I keep it split most of the time....

I'd watch that. ;)

I wanted to put a gold-guard on my white tele, but ended up going with MOP. Not bad at all.
