TattooedCarrot Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Started out as a cherry faded V. The jury is still out on the pickups, they are very nice as far as tone goes, but a little smoother than I've come to like lately. We'll see.

Morten M Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Extremely nice finish you've achieved. Hope the jury comes out and ask for black coils instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildperv Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Not too different from mine. I put '57s, an RS kit, mini grovers, ABR, and added another tone pot (while shuffling things around). Pretty sweet. Mine started as a cherry, too. I gave it the white washed look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLS Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Very nice! I have a 3 pick up faded V. I am looking for a Gibson 2 pick up pick guard. Can I get one direct (Gibson)? I replaced the chicken head knob for a toggle switch, replaced the bridge pick up with a SD JB, took out the middle pu and left the neck stock pick up in.

mrktwn Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Thats very cool! What did you use to strip the finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptc Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Good jobs on the V's, remodelling is the way to go. There's so many off the peg Gibsons out there now just now it's nice to see something different with the Gibson logo on it. I've just finished restoring an '84 JayDee (John Diggens, the bloke that made Tony Iommi's SG) '58 V copy. I stripped and bleached an ebony finished '76 Explorer Reissue from '92 and turned it into a '58 a few years back. I'll dig it out and get some pictures up. It kinda worked...
