Hen's Teeth

[sergiodeblanc]

Beautiful! I love the attention to detail, and that set of ebony/ivory knobs is particularly tasty and sets the guitar off beautifully!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about the knobs at first, but they look dope.

I bet Shawn will approve now. This one will fit nicely between the White Rabbit and BMF3. Looks Killer.

Shawn said “ Great job on that guitar, it looks awesome! Those pickups are hen’s teeth, for sure.”

Is the ABM bridge a big improvement ?

Huge; though some credit must also be given to the tweaked and lubricated nut. It wouldn’t stay in tune with a gentle wiggle of the Bigsby before the modifications. Now, I can be quite heavy-handed with no ill effects.

Oh my lord that is some sweet work right there. If you ever decide to sell that guitar, I call dibs.

It's all a matter of context.

They look so cool on that guitar. Hanso could make a living as a guitar designer, if he felt like taking a pay cut!!!

How did you wire them up? Series/parallel I hope since you had 4 conductors?

I've toyed with the idea of opening up my 85/15 pickups and adding a 4 conductor wire... and then I realize I have no idea how to do that and it's not worth messing up expensive pickups.

Stunning work! You had me at “Stinger”.

For real. Don’t think he’s modded a guitar I don’t like.

 

[RetroReel]

Amazing! The whole guitar is now a hen’s tooth!

Yeah, as I’m reading, I’m thinking, “that might be cool…” By the end I’m like,”Fuuuuuuuuu%#”.

It's awesome how you had a vision for them and patiently waited to find the perfect guitar to bring it to life. And hey, who cares what others think about where you put those 'Hen's Teeth' pickups? It's all about what makes you happy when you're jamming out. Also, those ebony and faux ivory knobs sound like a classy touch! It's those little details that really make a guitar feel personalized, right?

Wow, that ABM bridge is a beautiful piece of work. Those rollers are so fine, I barely noticed they were rollers at first! Much nicer than the Schaller roller bridges that seem more commonly used for this purpose.

Overall, a really top-notch curated set of upgrades. The end result looks fantastic. Well done!

First time I've seen this thread as it was a couple of months before I joined.

Another validation of how good the 'bones' of SE's (all of @]-[@n$0Ma☩!© 's I've seen are Korean) are and how good they can be with good upgrades. And the mods on his other SE's one strongly consider putting on a Core nut as a part of the "standard SE upgrade package" along with changing the pickups.
