mr sauron sir that is not my guitar, just sharing nice mods for reference purposes
unfortunately i never keep track who they belong to, if anyone knows do let me know i be glad to credit the rightful owner
as for how many guitars i have, no where near to our mr rickfreak here but as the saying goes "there is always room for one more" hehe



mr Eieio sir... the git belong to me pls credit me the amt ! hahahahaha just jokin. its an interesting shape. u know for a moment i was thinking you had a workshop or something like that, where you build gits.

Ive seen vids of home git builders. really cool i think. Ive always wanted this git below... cant afford it tho. would be nice to replicate it.

if im not mistaken, i think i know that git. ive tested it. my brother bought it initially from the chap at pasir ris. nice git..but required some work. setup wasnt good. the finishing wasnt good also. i tested it at home, wasnt pleased.

the seller and my bro had an agreement to return the git if hes not happy. so eventually it was returned.

Hehhehe me too bro! especially ESP Explorer fan! the over all paint job wasnt not good. i noticed indentations, due to wood surface i believe. also noticed streaks, kinda shows how it was painted.

the nut was totally off. was broken and glued back and that it too was a bad job. was kinda all over the place, the glue i mean. correct me if im wrong but the nut of the guitar is pretty crucial when it comes to the feel of the guitar.

i think it was on sale for $600. Yes even though, sometimes things can be overlooked and we can correct guitar setups, but my bro didnt want to waste time with it. hes not a DIYer lol

lately, santa fe gits caught my attention. so far, locally, their explorer looks good. only prob is that it has a pick guard... arrgggh. was offered $280 from the owner with gig bag.

Is there a way to see all guitars without flipping every page to find them?

 

[eieio]

yes that'll be great, project guitars photo album would be a nice idea..
