Smash or pass quiz

[KentuckyBoiledChiccan]

I'm not really looking for validation as I already decided to do this but I'm curious of your opinion.

You like it?

I found myself using Volume very little but I flip pickup selector often. Often I need to look for it which is a bit annoying and I decided to move it closer.

I'm still looking for a 3way selector with long enough thread

As long as you don’t think you’ll hit it strumming, I say go for it! You can return it to normal later if needed.

That guitar is gorgeous, btw.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Imma go with a Pass.

But you do you! My opinion means nothing.

Thx brother, I absolutely love this guitar.

I see no harm doing this, and as much as this photoshop was a bit shocker to start with, I do like the look of it now. I may do that to my Standard 24 first before I start messing around with a Custom

 

[bodia]

I say go for it. Hot guitar, too.

I'd pass - if you just play the guitar for a while you'll get used to where the selector switch is located and you'll build up that muscle memory to find it without thinking, and you'll not have a modded guitar to have to try and sell one day. Just my .02 cents.

 

[shinksma]

and you'll not have a modded guitar to have to try and sell one day.

The mod is easily reversed, though.

If it works for the OP, go ahead, assuming you don't do something that makes it somehow irreversible.

It's gonna be 2 years in Feb since I own this guitar. I still have to look for the switch. It's not an major issue most of the time but I flip bridge to neck and onwards a lot when I play with my octafuzz on.

That is probably the most foul thing anyone has ever done in the history of mankind.

I would regret it forever if I would ever sell it. I have sold less special guitars in past which I miss so much. This 35th Anniversary is a keeper

I'm a paramedic of 20 years. I can assure you - it's not

Might as well be a single pickup guitar for me, I’d be constantly whacking it to the bridge pickup. Pass.

 

[Deleted member 5962]

For me, pass.

I'd hit it while strumming.

But like others have said, "me" don't matter. U do. See your future, Danny. may, may.. make it."

If you think that will work for you, try it. As long as you aren't forced to route a hole bigger than would allow an easy return to stock, should it not work out, then there is no harm in trying.

 

[DISTORT6]

I voted indifferent.

 

[Johnny Rigs]

The hole diameter is the same between pot and switch?

 

[KentuckyBoiledChiccan]

The hole diameter is the same between pot and switch?

Not entirely sure... Good question

 

[sergiodeblanc]

The hole diameter is the same between pot and switch?

No

 

[Johnny Rigs]

No

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

Not the kind of “reversible” I go for myself. So I’d have to vote Pass. Still, I understand where you’re coming from wanting to move the switch location.

 

[Deleted member 5962]

The hole diameter is the same between pot and switch?

I don’t think so… hence my caveat

 

[KentuckyBoiledChiccan]

I will have to give it a second thought. Its not a major issue for me after all. I would rather drop dead than drilling my guitar
