What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[metropolis_4]

Busy learning charts for a Christmas bass gig this weekend.

Lots of old standards, lots of jazz, a couple crazy uptempo swing pieces that are kicking my ass right now! Fun times

 

[JerEvil]

Put on a set of 12’s and tuned to E standard for the full Malcolm treatment!

That’ll scare away those pesky salesmen knocking on your front door.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Used it to dial in the FM and the Stealth for Friday's gig.

Finished up some guitar mods for my nephew today. This was a Godin I gave him a few years back, something I'd bought at a pawn shop for a decent price. He's wanting to learn guitar more and he likes this guitar, but the original pickguard color was just white with cream pickups so it looked kind of boring. He wanted something unique so I glued vintage paper from a very old book that had fallen apart. I rubbed a bit of dark wax into to age some more and then sealed with poly.

I also changed the pickups to some Fender noiseless I wasn't using anymore, and a Kent Armstrong vintage style HB. I threw in a kill switch just for fun too. I think it turned out kind of cool? Plays and sounds nice although the neck is thinner than I'd use.

Got home from work tonight and changed out a guard and pickups. Put in my old DG set w/ black guard to finish it out. It's been a minute since I've played EMGs, but I used them for a number of years. They sound great in this partscaster , I'm happy with the tones.

How do you like the bridge? Is it the Gotoh version?

It's the Wilkinson IIK 2, so a more budget version. It's good other than it being a bit more of a pain to intonate. Tonally if seems a bit darker than what I'm used to and the tension feels slightly higher. It's just different overall. I need to put more hours in with it though.

The VS50k mk 2 is one of the best budget bridges available and you are right about the tone . I don’t find it higher tension than the Gotoh version myself but it depends what you’re comparing it too . Good though, I fit them all the time .

Yeah, the higher tension thing could possibly just be in my head. The fit and finish is very nice and comfortable on the palm.
