SCORE! (SE One content)

Wait, did you just say you bought one thinking you were going to mod it, and then question why other people mod theirs?

Have a read of these threads as to the "why":

Also I don't think SEs are anywhere near the quality of the Maryland made models, completely different (lower spec) components too. Out of interest, do you own one (or more) of each?

Why buy a bargain guitar then spend loads of time and cash changing it into something you should have bought in the first place?.

Same reason guys do this:



Badassery!

To those who understand, no explanation is needed.

To those who don't, no explanation will suffice...

If the guitar I "should have bought in the first place" even existed in the first place, I would get your point.

Yeah. That too.

Individuality is one thing but this is another............

Boy, I bet you are really going to hate this one.

And this one...

And this one...

Hans you got to warn a brother before you unleash so much awesome in one post, I've already spent way too many minutes looking (coveting) than I care to admit.

 

[toothace]

:congrats:Beautiful Hans...each one of them!!

HANS - that narrow 408 looks like it belongs there

And agree with justmund, I forgot how much modified badassery you have conspired in - my head damn near exploded. Too cool.

Way cheaper than a Private Stock, so still quite a bargain!

Because its his guitar and he can do what he wants with it. If you have an idea in mind that can be accomplished without dropping multiple thousands of $$ by doing what was done here, then I consider that to be frugal in a good way and it gets you exactly what you want.

The great thing about this is it's "his" guitar. By that I mean it represents what he wanted. There is nothing out there like this guitar....nothing.

That SE One looks awesome. I love these threads. Hans constantly reminds me of projects I have in mind and keep putting off. Got to find me a project guitar.

Is there any downside tone-wise from departing from the single coil to the humbucker? I am wondering if you lose any of the tone variability and other cool features of a one p90 guitar if you move away from a traditional p90 pickup.

 

[justmund]

Pretty sure if Hans wanted P-90 tones, he wouldn't have put a 408 in his guitar.

Thanks! Now to figure out if I should tell the wife, or gamble that she won't notice one more guitar.

I have to admit, switching to SE's from high-end US models has made it easier to manage Mama Bear's anger. A $269 NGD like this one is a far cry from a Private Stock. And I have to give credit where credit is due. Paul made life a lot easier on me when he personally thanked her (and Baby Bear too) for putting up with my guitar habit.

You're gonna get a ton of crap if you mod a puppy, though.

Better get puppy drunk before you change his nut though!

Right! These things are cheap thrills.
