I Just Realized I Never Showed This Forum My Supersonic

Post by rhythmjones » Wed Jul 28, 2021 5:29 pm

I was on a break from this forum when I bought and modded my Paranormal Supersonic.

Gizz-style extra frets, GFS Surf-90s, white plastics, and a sticker.

Hmmmm.....your guitar seems kind of "half-backwards" compared to all of mine! :P

Glad you had the realization and shared pix tho! :)

Smart approach. Nobody can accuse you of being out of tune, because they won't be able to tell if you actually are.

Every time I see one of these I want to try and track one down. They look like a ton of fun. I figure I can justify it because I don't have a guitar with a Strat-style trem, so...

Very cool! The routes look to have been chewed by a small rodent, is that the original route or was some filing required to fit the new pickups?

I have one of the new blue sparkle Super Sonics being delivered today! Part of me is hoping to dislike the humbuckers that come with it so that I can fit some Bareknuckle P90s

Yeah the covered pickups wouldn't fit in the pick guard as is so I took a dremel to it.

Oh that's fun lol. Hey, so how do you like those surf 90s? What are they like for overdriven and distorted tones?

I love them. Really do hit that Dynasonic girth. This is the second guitar I've used them in.

I wanna try the microtonal thing so bad. Does it work like I assume, with this one anyway, and the second fret on each set is just what it would be normally? So like you’d finger the 6th fret for what you’d do normally to get the 4th? Really cool!
