Lp Special 2 with tremolo...


Mr. E

Recommended Posts

i have an old guitar sitting there and i'm thinking of fixing it and/or customizing it. i played a guitar with a tremolo and i liked it. i want to know if there is a tremolo for a guitar that fits les paul type of guitars. i'm not rich nor have to much money to spare right now. i would get a guitar with a tremolo, but i have to take care of cash for i have little. i would use a bigsby, i've been thinking of it, but i really dont know. they say bigsbys are not used as they were used back then... now they are abused to much and causes strings to break. i do like the sound of the bigsby though... the sound of a guitar falling apart sounds awesome... just listen to Cowgirl in the Sand from Neil Young. in the case that i do get a bigsby, i dont know yet, i think i would get the bigsby, roller bridge (maybe locking), graphite or trem nut from graph tech, and locking tuners... i dont know if it would help that much...

 

Please help me out, i dont have a BIG budget... give me ideas or advice you have.

 

P.S. no hate nor insulting comments please

Hmmm.....Check these guys out if you're serious about this..

i just checked them out and they are good, in fact plain awesome... but there is a thing here. the price, i know it is worth paying for them because it is totally worth it, but honestly the guitar i want to customize is about 150 and maybe gone down cause of the sanding, no electronics, no nut, no tuners, etc.

 

i once heard or saw someone said or type "get a $35 neck for a $100 guitar... dont get a $100 neck for a $100 guitar"

 

Thnx

Guitar fetish has a "solid steel"(i'm skeptical, but still) chrome floyd rose for $60, no locking tuners, roller bridge, or that to worry about, and floyd's are VERY stable tuning-wise.

Since it's just a special II, I'd say o for it, route the body as you have to, and be the only guy with an LP that has a real tremolo.

(BTW, bigsbys can't do upbends, and start at 100 bucks, on top of the fact you have to update EVERYTHING to put one in)

 

Oh, and JUST an idea, you COULD put a roller bridge IN FRONT of a floyd rose, and I THINK you could still get that "falling apart" type sound with a little creativity....

 

EDIT:

Also, you said you've sanded the body down and taken all the electronics out.

What are you planning here?

Also, can I see the sanded down guitar?

I wonder what the mystery wood looks like, lol.

you gave me alot to think about... i really dont want to screw up the body, but i think i would want one of those on a strat. have you done that to a strat?

 

about the sanding, i couldnt sand it completly... its really really hard.

i did take the poly finish off and that helps alot, in my old guitar i did the same and it improved the sound greatly. i'm planning on doing this to all my guitar (cheap guitars wit poly finsh)...

Not yet, I'm planning on doing it to my BC rich warlock (it's a flat-top beveled body, like an SG in alot of ways), and I wonder how easy agathis/basswood is to route out...

 

I also have the strat(left), which I might try the floyd rose on before doing the warlock, but I wouldn't keep it in simply because my current bridge holds tuning well even with really big up/down bends. Anything short of pantera works just peachy.

 

And, seeing as it's a $170 guitar on it's best day, you may as well make it something to SEE, seeing as VERY FEW players have les pauls with tremolos/vibratos, I'd go for it just for pure distinction, and flexibility.

 

EDIT:

About the sanding, what was your original color? How thin did you get the poly?

Again, I'd liek to see pics.

Do you play live/infront of people often?

Because LP+trem+paintjob=chicks.

Your strat was 170? did you fix/upgrade it? what kind of tremolo do you have? lol, too many questions.

About the les paul, i would like the floyd rose or tremolo on it, but its to much **** to do and i'm not the best person to do it. i think i did get the poly finish really thin cause in some parts you could actually see the paint (vintage sunburst, i think it looks better right now, well it has sanded parts, than before when it was all glossy). i cant find my camara to take pictures, sorry... ooohh, i have played in front of people, but our performance sucked, well kinda, but not really. we only had one day to seriously practice cause my band members didnt want to practice or play (it took them to watch august rush to get them to play). most of the things i did, i played the solos and lead things, were improvised right on the spot...

No... The Les Paul special II is 169 on MF, so I was talking about that.

My guitar...

I have NO clue.

It's a G&L(or possible fake G&L) neck, with an unmarked body, unknown electronics(H/S/S), 5 original(?) 6-in-lline tuners+ONE grover USA tuner on the LOW E, factory-fresh(or atleast factory quality, seamless) Frankenstrat-esque finish, and whatever tremolo is in it... 4 springs in back, strings loaded from back of the guitar.

I got a supreme deal on it, it has attitude, the sounds I can get out of it, amazing for what it is.

 

Anyway

Wood routing, so long as you measure alot, make sure you have a plan, and don't try to get everything done in a weekend, shouldn't be toxic. If it's a basswood body, it'll like butter, carve-wise. You've got some things going for you on a cheaper guitar then a upscale one, really. Also, I THINK you could put a roller bridge on, and it'd make intonation alot easier than maneuvering a floyd.

 

Well, I asked about the finish in case you wanted to put some new art and attitude on your guitar, since my personal course-of-action there would be- "do what you can without breaking your tone".

 

I asked if you played live because, if you do, put YOU into the guitar, here, (he)art and all.

That's what matters onstage.

 

Wow, your band sounds liek flakes(lol).

But, playing with other people is pretty much the best thing you can do for yourself.

Sorry for how the live gig went!

 

Well, tell me, what is you biggest goal/plan for this guitar?

This was my first guitar, i wanted to pawn it or fix it and sell it, but i changed my mind. i'm planning on putting GFS pickups (Vintage 59s) on it and just lightly spray paint it black, not cover the body, but just a very thin coat enough to give the guitar a little colour. the coats are not going be even, i think.

OOh, i also forgot to mention, i sanded the neck a little just to get rid of that finish/feel of the neck. after playing for an hour in a garage, my hands get sticky. now the neck is smooth even though the surface looks rough, but its really soft and playable.

I kinda assumed it was your first...

 

Well, GFS is a GREAT choice, but I would suggest in the bridge, throw the extra coin in and get a Rockfield Vintage custom wound, coil tapped, clean, dirty, they're awesome.

50 bucks, great quality.

Since you're re-doing all the electronics, may as well put in a coil tap, so rockfields a good choice for that.

 

Well, had you been on the forum then, you'd know a bit of steel wool takes off the sticky gloss but doesn't make it look rough, but it's not prob anywho.

 

I think, since you've got a nice start here, the more you mod this, the more you'll learn to love it as it becomes YOUR guitar, not A guitar, in every way.

lol, i didnt know that about the steel wool...

i have heard of the rockfield, actually they were going to be my first option for pickups until i found GFS pickups.

i'm thinking of coil tapping and parallel/series switching... i've been looking at rotary switch since i have pots already.

i just want to mod this guitar cause i had a one pickup guitar (lp junior special) that worked fine, but only for solos, not for rhythm nor anything else. i really want a little more versatile guitar

Well There's HUGE versatility in coil taps, for sure.

I was actually only saying do the bridge pup rockfield, GFS is GREAT for a neck pickup.

You've got

Bridge(tap)

Bridge(tap)+neck(tap)

Bridge(tap)+neck(humbucker)

Bridge(humbucker)

Bridge(humbucker+neck(tap)

Bridge(humbucker)+neck(humbucker)

Neck(humbucker)

Neck(tap)

That's ALOT of tone, before volume, before tone knobs, before EQ, before amp gain...

I don't think you'd need any more versatility than that.

How to wire it?

I believe seymour duncan has guides online, otherwise, ask the fine folks at the forum.

Anyway, I think a config of:

Chrome floyd rose http://store.guitarfetish.com/flroflotrsy.html

Chrome roller bridge http://store.guitarfetish.com/robrchplfile.html

GFS '59 vintage tone/output+4 conductor wiring for coil tap: http://store.guitarfetish.com/vi59alblnicl.html

Rockfield SWC Pickup (coil-tap ready, too): http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Rockfield-SWC-Select-Wound-Custom-Pickup-?sku=300093

 

Would be VERY distinguished, versatile, and I really don't think you could ask for more...

Then, you can try for an AMP to give justice to your AX.

Man, your of great help, thnx alot. i gave thought to it and yea, i may go for what you said, GFS in neck and Rockfield in Bridge. although, i thought of the floyd rose and i want to get the guitar ready as soon as possible and i really dont have enough money. i need tuners, wires, switch, and a bridge. what can i use to split the humbuckers? do you think the rotary switch is a good idea?

Haha, I'm nothing compared to half the guys on this forum.

 

Good pick man, You better start putting up some youtube vids of how this combo sounds.

 

Well, as I said before, even if basswood is butter, you shouldn't rush routing, so if this is an ASAP situation, then skip the floyd, and keep the roller bridge, seeing as it'll save you strings and therefore cash in the long run, stopbar on GFS is only 14 bucks. http://store.guitarfetish.com/chsttawimost.html

 

Hmmm, switches, switches....

Well, I almost solely can think of REALLY creative switching means(like putting a 3 way switch and a 4 conductor humbucker in a junior and having coil tap, humbucker, and a kill switch all on the 3-way)

So, for simple ones, Hmmm...

I'm not knowledgeable(AT ALL) about rotary switches. My solution would have been push/pull pots for simplicity alone, but since you have pots, I guess you'll have to wait on someone who know how this works for that.

 

Also, you wanted to do tuners.

Are there ANY tuners on the guitar?

Even if the stock ones suck, a floyd rose moves all the tuning to the bridge(think stienberger) anyway, so they don't have to really do anything up on the neck.

21-30 bucks for tuners on GFS.

Locking tuners for only 27 bucks, jeez I gotta remember this site...

Depending on how little you can or have to sink here, keeping stock tuners and going floyd would be only like 30 bucks.

i also thought about a mean 90 or dream 90, either, and a 59 in bridge or rockfield in bridge. i have had a mean 90 in the bridge on a guitar, but the pots werent that good so it didnt sound that great. i have no tuners on my guitar, the stock one fell apart...

Well, a mean 90 would be a good choice in the bridge, the bite and high-end is pretty much wasted in the neck.

And it'd make you flexibility for anything harder than dirty southern blues or AC/DC distortion levels or softer than mild crunch jazz pretty much disappear.

If you still have that les paul junior, THAT's the place for a mean 90, as far as solid body guitars go, IMO.

 

Wow, never personally seen a tuner fall apart.

Sometimes they feel like it, but it clears up after breaking in a new set of strings...

 

If you're getting tuners, get locking ones, they're worth their weight in gold for anyone who's had a string go way flat after a bend in a show...

 

Though they'll be kind of a waste if you put the floyd in(pass 'em to your other guitar, swap in the stock from it when you put the floyd in), they're more than worth it for now.

Most tuners on the website are for 10mm holes, i think, i dont think they willl fit my headstock. what can i do? the only ones that i think will fit are non locking...

the pickups, i dont want anything hard, i just a pickup that i could thinker with... from soft things to hard things, for example pop and rock, etc. i play alot of types of music and i want a pickup for that...

They have a retrofit brushing, but all the 3x3 are for gibson/epiphone headstock, so they SHOULD work just fine on their own.

 

Niether the rockfield or the GFS 59's are hard, per se. It's really an amp question by and large, these aren't EMGs.

 

But van halen did all his stuff on a PAF pulled from an ES335.

Both these pickups are based off of those, but they both are slightly higher output, somewhat akin to the 60's pickups used in angus young's SG.

 

You can go anywhere with that combo, coil tap and you've got hendrix, and every other guitarist to use a strat's tone arsenal with some tinkering.

 

Outside of hardcore punk(high gain/output, passive), metal(active) or country(overwound or totally vintage tele), pickups, every other pickup out there is based on the PAF, or the stratocaster's single-coils.

This pair, coil taps, you'll have enough to go anywhere they have.

Tinker away.

 

Oh, and one more question, what amplifier you have?

well, the hole in my headstock are smaller so i think i have to make them bigger...

Well, that's not too hard, really.

As with the routing of the body, don't rush it...

It'll be easy enough.

 

Amp is a good choice, I've always preferred pedals, since it's kind of a drummer v. drum machine situation with a multi effect , it's either digital sounding or too sampled. Just me, I guess. Pedals have a mass of their own problems anyway.

 

It'll be good for now.

 

Really just wanted to make sure you weren't running a DS-1 into a crappy solid-state practice amp, because there isn't a guitar around that'd sound good in that.

i have a little practice amp, its an ibanez practice amp, but it sounds pretty good with gain. i use it a lot when i use to play with my friends cause i has nice crunch...

The pedal i have sounds pretty good, i did a set of three songs with it and only the pedal, no amp... i think the pedal helps a lot in the versatility, i could change my type of sound with a hit of a switch...

Ah, kind of liek the line6 pod thing?

(If you're gonna go a step up in multieffect or wanna have an amp modeler in after, it'd be nice choice.)

 

Well, I really hope you do well in all these ventures, you've got the tools to do justice to a good guitar with great mods....

 

Is your special II your only guitar right now or are you using other(s) while it's in pieces?
