Things I'd like to change/add to my guitars to make them more "me"!
I'd like to put a Stetsbar trem on my cream (gradually painting it sky blue, and would like to strip the paint off the back of the neck) Aria, adding locking machine heads too (with keystone knobs, please), and a GraphTech nut; the pickups on it sound very good, but I'm not deep into their look (cream-and-black zebra coils; I'd like to get some lime-green plastic pickup mounting rings and bright-blue solid plastic pickup covers).
My other six-string electrics: two Tele-style jobs-- the blue one an original I was given by a friend of a friend I knew from church, the natural-finish one a JD Luthiers, both have the traditional single-coil pickups; I wanna put a stacked humbucker in the bridge position and a side-by-side one at the neck on them both, the same brand trem, etc --oval-knobbed locking machine heads will do on these-- a new, 22-fret, reverse-headstock Tele neck on each, and swap the gold hardware on the blue one out for chrome-plated hardware. Also a general overhaul of their electronics.
My 1986 Onyx 1030 (a Mosrite copy with humbuckers) needs its electronics overhauling, and a Stetsbar trem, etc, as I'd like on the Aria. The 1930's double-black-coiled humbuckers look good to me, but they'd sound more to my taste if I could get the phase switch working properly-- anybody got an original wiring diagram for this puppy?
Last, for the time being anyroad, but not least, is my old green Casino copy of an Ibanez Soundgear four-string bass I played several years back in a band called Lunadenta, which has fully enclosed PJ-style pickups; this just needs the electronics overhauling. (With all of these, I include in this process getting new output sockets put in). :metal:
