Back in November I picked up an abused Epiphone S-300. I have now finished her rebuild and man she sounds GREAT!!!

 

Here's the original post:

Now here's what she looks like:

Body:

The bridge is a Hipshot trem model. Only one vol and one tone. That's all I need.

 

Custom truss rod cover:

The nut was replace with a bone nut.

 

The guitar was inspired by SRV's Charley white guitar. The pickups are GFS, the pickguard is by Terrapin Guitars. Terrapin also made the truss rod cover and a replacement back trem cover in red. Of course she has the Hula Girl on back but I put her on heads up so she doesn't get too dizzy like she did on SRV guitar.

For a plank of plywood she sounds absolutely great!

Dude! What a transformation!

That is a great looking guitar. You should be really proud.

 

I love that pick guard! [thumbup]

 

And the Hula chick on the back is just WAY COOL! [thumbup] [thumbup]

 

Thanks for showing it off!

Wonderful, I just love her! I've got a Strat with the tube pickups and I am actually playing it now! Just a marvelous job you've done there! Kudos!!
