Slick Soapbar

[Lister]

Dogrocketp had mentioned in the other Soapbar thread that he had a highly modded Platinum painted Soapbar, and I asked him if he had any pics. He was kind enough to send me some so I volunteered to put them up here for you all to enjoy as well. I'll just post the pics and let him tell you all the mods he's done to this bad boy!

Dude! Bangin’!

This was trashed in shipping by UPS. It started out as a beautiful black sunburst, then had to be repainted to hide the damage. Chris Bavaria did the finish. The tuners are Hipshot open back, and the nut is a USA PRS. Note the shorter nut length, hidden by a black magic marker fill in. The pickups were left standard. The volume was replaced with a CTS, and the Tone control was replaced with a Fender TBX, which disconnects in the center position. A new toggle was also installed. The bridge and studs were replaced with Schroeders. When you put some dirt on the amp........whoa, mommy! Philtone Music in Baltimore did the work.

Love that! Now that is snatching victory from the jaws of defeat!

The one time that UPS got it right! Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes!
