KingBollock Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 [quote][font="Arial"]I wanted to change the colour of the pickup by the bridge to cream to give a sort of zebra look, but the cover was bonded too hard at one end so it has to stay black![/font][/quote] That explains a lot.

yorks5stringer Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) What's an " oscilascope "? Is it related to an oscilloscope perhaps? Shame we can't see a photo of the nut just to see what butchery it has been subjected to. Do you think he's good with horses....?

[/quote] Probably, but how he'd use one to set intonation I hate to think. Perhaps he'd hit the bridge saddles with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) On 15/1/13, he won/paid £161 for this Schecter guitar [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130832259749?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D130832259749%26_rdc%3D1"]here[/url].

DarkHeart Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 why has he put 2 miss matched control knobs on when the black originals matched the rest of the hardware? `touch of class`? cheap and tacky more like! and why has he swapped the neck humbucker out for a flamin jazz bass pick up? the blokes an idiot.
