Zeljac Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 so, this guitar is in progress ! neck is made of maple + rosewood (24 frets, 25.5") with PRS headstock+ 4mm abalone inlays body is alder + flame/quilted maple top. many will ask why not jackson or pensa headstock... honestly.... i don't like them. and i think this is pretty good combination. it will have Schaller parts (M6 & wrap around). body is thick 4,5 cm + 1 cm maple. 0,5 cm from top wood will go on mild ( ) arch top. and other 0,5 cm will be natural binding. about the paint on it... i am waiting for some idea (from you)... and i want to know which pickups would you put on it (passive- must be) for 80' thrash ?! greetings to all people from HR and BiH !

Prostheta Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Great! Keep going. I would suggest something along the lines of Super Distortions or JB's for passives. More than anything, the tone will come from the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I like the JB/Jazz combo, but some people find the JB too shrill. They usually either go with the Duncan Distortion, Duncan Custom, or Custom Custom. Similar to the JB but with less highs usually. The '59 is nice, same with Pearly Gate, Screamin' Demon.

ae3 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I have a Duncan Custom5 and I love it. It'll do Megadeth really well but won't do Metallica or Slayer type sounds. Also it's great for soloist rock ala Paul Girlbert and Satch. I like the body/headstock combination you've picked, it works well and it makes your guitar truley one of a kind.
