thx guys for posting some pictures.
nice that the talk is all about mods...
maybe you saw my other post but i'm planning something quite extreme in my head!
- i have a vision of an X150 (still thinking about the color...)
- i would add the bigsby and bigsby bridge (like on the SFIII)
- a 3-waytoggle in the cutaway
- a nice black dogear P90 at the neck
- a black covered dearmond or dynasonic at the bridge
- maybe changing the 2 knobs to something that resembles stove knobs
- maybe even cutting a vintage style round pickguard with gold guild logo and star (or the same but a clear pickguard with red guild logo with star... something trully inovative...
)
it's in my head know, but it might be for real in the future!
it's quite a mix of X150, X160, X550P, eddie cochran, SF, ...
i deeply love my tele and my martin 0015... now i need a hollow i can love as much!
i've owned 4 gretsches and played about the entire professional collection... i need a brake from them!!!
i've been thinking about the gibson es165 herb ellis to do similar mods to...
but GUILD seems to be the secret... the best out there....... i want to try...
i know my modding plan seems or even is nuts... but hey... we only live once and if Fender takes away the X160 and won't produce an X150DVT (double pickup, vintage pups, bigsby tremolo)... we have to think them out and build them ourselves!
