Lord MFC Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Could you please actually get it changed to Twatmonger? Nah. If I did change it it'd be either MFC or Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Now now guys, lay off Jamie yeah? Just because you go around being arrogant pricks all over the internet doesn't make you cool or popular. It's just because this is the internet. You cant get beaten up here so this is the place where you choose to be a cunt to everyone, because you're safe. You take on a whole new persona over here which in fact masks your real personality that you hold outside the board. Now grow up and stop showing off you shit. Ok? Ok.

IntelligentAl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So I've been looking a bit more into this kit guitar business. I was pretty much set on a Tele, but I did a quick look for Jag/Jazzmasters. There arent many kits out there for those, not at a decent price anyway, but I did come across this: http://www.diyguitarshop.co.uk/content/images/kits/DKM01A_details.htm At first I dismissed it because it wasnt actually the right shape, but check out this picture of it: Jazzmaster kit guitar - quick layout. by coldnebraskablue, on Flickr Is it just me, or does that have a distinctly Tesico-esque quality to it? Imagine it with a really bad 3 tone sunburst, a nice bit of wear, maybe a black pickguard and a black headstock, and probably similar pickups to this: I dunno, I think I could turn that into rather a Teisco-esque guitar. And the specs are really good, 3 piece alder body etc. I am very intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Just emailed the guy who runs DIY Guitars to ask if it would be possible to get one of those but without the tremolo route. If yes, I'll be using one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So what are the actual thoughts on this? Good idea? I think I could probably do the whole thing for around the £200 mark. Hmmmmmmmmmmm decisions decisions. And if I do, it'll be getting a pair of Wilkinson P90s for sure And I'll need to come up with a logo for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 sounds like a good idea to me would you do the finish yourself? I understand a bit more work is required for burst finishes is that teisco in the picture yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah thats my Audition. It'll probably serve as the inspiration for this build if I go ahead with it. I'd do the finish too. I'm pretty sure ManchesterGuitarTech does some nitro burst kits. No doubt about it, it'll be much harder than the daphne finish, but there has to be a first time for everything!

Will_ Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Does sound cool... although, you have a burst finish on a guitar already right? Only suggestion I'd have is to have a different finish, or different colour burst. Bit nitpicky Oh also, the Wilkinsons. I've got a pair of Wilkinson Humbuckers on my SG, they sound great distortion wise but honestly, clean, they sound piss poor. I know you'd get P90s, but I'm just putting it out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only suggestion I'd have is to have a different finish, or different colour burst. Bit nitpicky I dooo, I have two in fact. I dunno, I mean I am going for the sunburst 60s/70s Teisco vibe with this. I think if I were to go with the Jag kit, it would be sunburst, because I honestly dont think it would look that great in anything else. Unless perhaps it had binding instead of the roundovers. If I went for a solid colour then it would be a different kit, most likely one of the Teles. Oh also, the Wilkinsons. I've got a pair of Wilkinson Humbuckers on my SG, they sound great distortion wise but honestly, clean, they sound piss poor. I know you'd get P90s, but I'm just putting it out there That bit I would disagree with. The zebra humbucker I have in Daphne is a Wilkinson and I honestly adore it. Admittedly it is only in the bridge, which I usually use for slightly overdriven stuff, but as an all round pickup I cant really fault it. I was actually so impressed with it that I've considered replacing the pickups in my Les Paul with a Wilkinson set. But having said that, I do usually use the neck and middle single coils for cleans, so youre not entirely off the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get the feeling a solid colour with a white binding would look cool though. And fair enough, if the sound suits you then that's what counts. Seeing as mine came with the guitar, and the guitar only cost around £175, I'd assume they're pretty low end pups anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've searched a few times but I have a friend that literally makes all his money through finding cheap guitar bodies/necks/pups, shoving them together, setting them up perfectly and then selling them on. Same guy that did this guitar for me actually My tele's a gem. Yet you're selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yet you're selling it. Not really, just put it up to see what interest it would get, and now I have money I dont need to sell it anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
