Hot mess mods

[Nuuska]

Or Steve Vai model for those with swollen fingers

 

[Opsimath]

Weight relief

I asked the "why" question about drilling holes and it was explained that it's to make the guitar less heavy, but these pictures just make me hurt! I understand the why, but I still ask, "Why?!"

 

[Rambozo96]

JJ Cale’s Harmony was a rough one. Great player though

 

[GGJaguar]

Steel strings on a classical? No problem, zip ties are your friend.

 

[GGJaguar]

Literal translation of "bolt-on" neck.

 

[Guildedagain]

Couple things ;]

Bolt on neck is a misnomer that has been around a long time, since the Tele.

The steel string conversion is probably a Youtube tutorial the way tutorials are going it's embarrassing to be a human sometimes.

 

[GGJaguar]

Not sure if the extra holes are for weight relief or if this is an attempt to make a 6-string into a 12-string. Either way it's a hot mess mod.

 

[Guildedagain]

Luckily it was only a G&L ;]

 

[GGJaguar]

Luckily it was only a G&L

Luckily it was only a Tribute by G&L model.

GG beat me to it! I do love me a good G&L and my heart sank at the first moment of seeing that.

^ That's pretty funny. Someone went to a lot of effort though to label every button and make what looks like a really nice case for it.

 

[mellowgerman]

What happened in the lower left-hand corner there? Did we run out of pickguard material and knobs?! C'mon! Missed opportunity. Lack of effort. 6 out of 10.

 

[Guildedagain]

What's on the other side?

Worth a fortune in switches and knobs.

 

[Midnight Toker]

That "batwing" Les Paul breaks my heart every time I see it! Why? Because it's a 59!!

 

[geoguy]

Not good for people who have trouble making decisions between multiple options!

At least it won't likely be neck heavy.

Besides having invested for that amount of switches and potentiometers - whoever built this decided to invest "that little extra" for the output-jack spring-loaded cover. That grey thing that looks like small toilet seat cover.

ps - those pickups remind me of IDEAL brand from 60:s

I also wondered what that was for. There is another "normal" output jack nearby.

Possibly a charging station for his vape pen?

Ah . . . so perhaps one of the many options with that instrument is stereo output?
