Guitars Freshly Setup and Cleaned = Photo Op

Post by dayl »

Nothing like putting in the work and breathing new life into a gat. Would be rude not to share a pic.


This bad boy has been case sleeping for close to a year now. Today I took it out and completely stripped it apart. Then gave it all a good cleaning, from brushed trem to steel wooled frets and oiled fretboard. Finally got around to setting it up with 11-65 in A standard. Feels good and sounds better.

Thats one down, one more to go before the weekends up hopefully. :thumbup:

Looks awesome - if I were to own a 7 string with neon on it, that would be the one I'd want

Yup. ADA Microtube 100. Solidstate with 2x 12ax7 in the mix for the presence control I think.

50w at 4ohms in stereo or 100w bridged mono at 8ohm
