It's been about 5 years since I last played this guitar. I sold off the stock evolutions, the tones just didn't go very well with my ears. The stock pickguard corroded due to some inferiorities in the finishing process. So anway national service soon came along after that, became a soldier for 2.5 years and never touched guitar at all. I finally got myself a part time job and rounded up enough funds to complete restoration on this guitar.
It took quite some time but I managed to find a party willing to do a chrome job for my pickguard and another laser cut stainless steel guard for my UV. Sure beats mirrored plastic.
Bought a set of Breeds off sweelee over the weekend, thanks Ms. Yeo and Adam! They sound awesome, all the nice vowel tones which I loved in my paf pros, with just a nice added spike. And also not as harsh as Evos.
And of course Mark Stevens, my usual tech is no longer in town for me to bug him for tech duties. I got several recommendations from close friends about KC at Guitar Connection at Peninsula. I was very hesistant and insecure about the whole job to begin with, I had nightmares about all the funny things sitting in a case for 5 years can do to a guitar, the pickguard not turning out right, grounding issues with regards to using a metal guard, the tech scratching and ruining the whole instrument.
KC is a real pro. He took great care of my baby!
He wired the pickups for me and did a setup to my specifications, I'm pretty damn anal to work with. He did all this within 2 hours. Yes within 2 hours! LOL. It's a damn good job, no noticable buzz or dead spots, very resonant, and sustain for days.
I highly recommend him.
Ok people here are the pictures.
Both Jems on my EVH inspired wall, UV777Bk in case now
Close up of action detail. It's not that low, not that high, just the way I like it.
Can you say Chrome!
Thanks KC!
I'm a happy boy now.
