The ever increasing Bastardization of my gear!

Post by Jonesie » Wed Jan 28, 2009 6:06 pm

The latest victim is my faded SG. When I originally got it (off a guy from Craigslist) it had a mint pickguard with two GFS mini-humbuckers. They sound great, but the bridge was way underpowered.

So enter my new bridge pickup.

Bill Lawrence L-560. NOS from the 1970's. Dual Rail mini-humbucker, I had to rout out the pickguard for the built in mini humbucker case, but that was a small sacrifice. This thing just fucking RIPS.

Because the guitar looks so badass now, I have dubbed it SATAN.

he/she may be getting a bigsby soon too. We'll see.

Gnarly! I plan on buying an SG one day and modding the hell out of it; for some reason, it just seems right to me.
