Dub-T-123 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 That looks awesome! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep us posted I like the Kahler. Are you planning to do any kind of locking nut? I like what you've chosen to do with the pickups. Should sound great and be pretty versatile too. Good luck!

Which means no TRC cover or I'll get a blank one and hack that one up instead of JJ TRC. I think it would look cool on my daughters MM[cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 That is gonna be one cool MM. Are you still down for that pup deal? it's a done deal..... you can have the tuners and bridge assembly too.... I found some nickel 70's Gibson stamped tuners that should finish off the ol girl.

Shnate McDuanus Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 One more question: would this make it the Duane V Signature Joan Jett Signature Melody Maker? Because...that's a long name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Pretty cool with the TRC[cool] ..... But there are a few departed members that might interpret that signatureTRC as a power trip or some ego thing, and try to rationalize it as some sort of mal-adjusted character flaw I have within. Nevertheless cool idear[cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Sounds cool!! It would be the DVJJ Signature MM by Gibson USA or The Duane V Joan Jett Signature Melody Maker by Gibson USA, Only a Gibson is Good Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well in all true Gibby fashion I would have to charge.... Duane V #1 Sig: Non-aged an Non signed = $5000 list Duane V #1 Sig: Aged and Non-signed = $10' date='000 list Duane V #1 Sig: Signed, Aged and Played with [b']assorted duane v DNA traces[/b] throughout the guitar= $25,000 list As a bounus I'll throw in a free case[biggrin] Ummm....Ermmmm... How should I say this.... What are you talking about bud? I know everyone has heard dem00n's story about how certain "stains" are hard to get out, but are you really gonna stoop to his level?

I found some nickel 70's Gibson stamped tuners that should finish off the ol girl. Sounds great man! I've been wanting to swap out the 498t on my SG for a while. It's a good pickup but I think something else would be better suited to my style. The BB3 sounds like a great option for my SG. On the other hand, I couldn't love the 490r more. This may be just what my SG needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 *Update* Had one of our machinist do the routing since my Luthier is on tour. Sorta worried here[blink] .... We had to castrate part of the tenon *OUCH*.... But I went ahead and added some gorilla glue to the crevices. An image with the parts mounted... I still have to wire up everything.... I thought I lost the "TONE" label on one of the witch-hats... But found it...thank god[blink] Close up Switched out the stock PING tuners and went with some 72 Gibson tuners.... I'm waiting on the nickel tulip pegs from Schaller..... Man that was like pulling teeth to get those[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
