Another bargain--a mod project?
I was trolling this local store and found this Tele copy for $32.50 (it originally retailed for $149.95). I've pulled about 4 guitars out of this store and never paid over $35 for any of them. This is a discontinued brand and it had been sitting in the store for about 3 years. It's a major chain in Texas, and I guess they do this all of the time. So far I've kept one (a Silvertone SIK-11, Shredder), sold one (a Paul Stanley Sovereign Special by Silvertone), given one as a gift (a classical guitar by Telluride--that wasn't bad either), and now this Tele copy.
I've been thinking about doing a mod project and now I think I have a candidate. Anyone know of any good guitar modding guides? I was going to go to Guitar Fetish for ideas on parts, etc.
Anyone have any good resources on painting a guitar?
I tried it out and I was surprised to hear how hot the neck pickup was. Bridge pickup is pretty good. Pots very fair, selector switch seems kind of flimsy, and the tuners and hardware are predictably cheap. But for less than $35, I have something I can mod. Oh, and the color is atrocious.
