I love decals and mods' date=' that looks nice. But with all that work why sell her? I love that Trans Am decal; looks smart!!![/b']
Well, actually, after hitting her with some much needed pollishing compound, I think I've decided to keep her.
Hell, I spent about $350 all-told, doubt I could get $1000 out of her anyways. I can't wait to bust this out on stage!

Turned out great man! Congrats=d>
What kind of pickups are those?
Those are the Seymour Duncans that were on it. I replaced the pole piece screws with gold, and used some "rust cleaner' on the slugs (while they were still installed of course!), and added the gold open covers.

Pick guard has to go it's in the way
Well, I'll take a picture here in a few minutes of it without the pickguard, and ya'll tell me. I'll let you guys decide.

Who did it? "Pimp my ride"?
Looks smart!!

Haha, no -- I did it myself. It may be loud looking to some, but I can't wait to see the response when I pull this baby out on stage.
It's really not a 'gawdy' in real-life as it looks here, though. It's sharp.

Well, I posted a thread on here a few months ago about a Studio that I have that I couldn't sell for $725. I was told that because it had 'Seymour Duncans" and not original pickups, that it wasn't worth jack.
Naturally, I thought this advice was moronic. To prove my point, I kept the guitar and added MORE non-Gibson hardware. I added Tone-Pros locking bridge and tailpiece, Faber locking posts, Sperzel locking tuners, Graphtech saddles and miscelanous other hardware. I just got it finished yesterday, and last night was the first time I was able to crank it up. The before and afters are below:
Before:
And now, lady's and gentlemen; I give you The Bandit:
Now THAT's a hot rod. Think she'll fetch $725 now?

I've finally gotten around to getting a better pic of my "Bandit". I went against the forum's advice and gotta pickguard. It's tinted grey, I think this hot-rod looks good with tinted glass...
