NGD - Bought a Flying V


Buxom

The tuning is rough, due to the **** tuners it has, but I'm changing those for Klusons eventually. It does play really nice once it's properly tuned, however. I'm also thinking of putting a new pickup. Ideas welcome.

I think they're at 9s.

 

Also, the tuners honestly suck, they're the basic hex-back semi-sealed ones a lot of Asian made guitars come with. They're not smooth, and they wiggle a lot. Klusons are in the near future

If you really wanted to go crazy you could tape it up and do some Frankenstrat painting. THAT would be raw.

 

Come on Crazytrain513! You could've come up with a better idea! Polka-dots. [wink] Cheers... Bence

Throw in some Klusons and a 500T and that thing screams "Panama" =]

Mine doesn't take standard tuning. I have to put the fat E slightly out of tune for it to sound proper when played with basic powerchords, which is ok with me. It still sounds great. Also, I should put some kind of nasty pickup, I'm thinking dirty fingers.

 

And I need a drummer over, ASAP. I want to run this thing through my halfstack, just because it would be hilarious.

 

Also, your knob is a bit lower than mine, which seems like it'd be better. I always knock down the volume when muting.

Get a DiMarzio Super Distortion. It'll make that little mother****er sound like a chainsaw!

Been on my "Wanted" list for about 2 years.

 

And, honestly, I'll have to go to my local music store and browse. They have a cabinet full of both new and used pickups.

This is a perfect example of how a Super Distortion sounds like a chainsaw (obviously the grinding Marshall helps). I also think that riff is the perfect Super Distortion riff. It screams chainsaw.
