musicaine Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Hi ! New member from Paris, France. I’m a professional guitarist and have a recording studio, Sipo Matador. I play guitar since I’m 8 (now42), I’ve started with classical music then took my father’s Stratocaster / Twin Reverb and played my first blues licks. I have studied musical theory and jazz. I’m open to every genre of music. My main influences are : Page, Slash, Hendrix, Wes, all Steely Dan guitarists, BB & Albert King and so many more... I’ve owned a few Gibson, Les Paul, ES, SG and today I’ve kept a 1999 ES 335 TDC with HepCat Pickups, a 2015 ES 335 (black) and a Gibson Challenger II with a vibrato and 2 Di Marzio humbuckers. Would like to share some pictures first Edited November 14, 2018 by musicaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to share some pictures first Hello Musicaine, I just joined, as well. I've played since age 13 (now 48), played trash metal & studied classical and Flamenco guitar. My first(electric) guitar was a Challenger II. At one point I owned a '76 Firebird V Bicentenial, & about 9 years ago I bought another Challenger II out of nostalgia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrobesAU Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I know this is an old topic, but I’m hoping OP might still be around. I’m trying to upgrade the pups in my Challenger II and I’m running into the issue with regular humbuckers being smaller than the holes for the three-screw stock pups. There is a gap of about 1/8” around the new pup (see pics) That OP’s pictures appear to have figured out a workaround. If anyone has any thoughts, they’d be greatly appreciated!

musicaine Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 I don't remember, I just brought the guitar to a luthier and he made the mods. Maybe he made a new pickguard but I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
