SUPER Custom 24 - Now REALLY CUSTOM

[sadmoodyfrazier]

Ok... Finally my Custom 24 SE modding is finished and my guitar is completed. I want to show you my specs:

 

[sadmoodyfrazier]

Grover Locking Mini Rotomatics machine heads

Aumsen bridge which is made from one piece of brass. I mean... baseplate and sustain block are made from one single piece and not fixed by screws. Saddles are brass and bridge screws inox steel.

Aumsen tremolo stabilizer which in conjunction with locking tuners and Aumsen bridge makes my tuning almost frozen.

Schaller S-LOCKS keeps my guitar sticking to my leopard colored strap.

Neck pickup is a Strat Humbucker made by Dreamsongs Pickups here in Italy. It works like a strat single coil in normal position but I can pull the volume knob to have a lovely warm JAZZY sounding humbucker. It's a grey bobbin style AlNiCo V strat humbucker when splitted. Very bluesy warm sound.

Bridge pickup is a PAF AlNiCo II replica humbucker by Dreamsongs Pickups. It's a lovely humbucker which sounds more like a single coil than an humbucker. It's also spittable pulling the tone knob to have some kind of bridge "surfy" sound. Poles are gold as the height slotted screws.

I made the wiring using 2 CTS DPDT 500k log pots, a Goeldo 3 way selector with gold contacts and a gold PURETONE jack connector. All wires are silver plated. I've used a 180pF capacitor for treble bleed and around 7nF Styroflex capacitor for tone pot which cuts just highs leaving mid frequencies into my sound. When I close the tones I have a lovely old style blues kind-a sound. Unfortunately I've not been able to make an optically pleasing wiring because of the many wires coming from the splittable pickups. Anyway it works perfectly and it's very clear sounding and silent.

Knobs are clear speed wich I've not pushed all the way down to not let the gold pointers cover the numbers but just point to them.

Pyramid NPS 10/46 are my choice for the strings. Nothing better than ringing made in Germany PANZER steel strings.

I hope you like her. I will upload to youtube a demo soon and I will make you hear the sounds. This is my definitive guitar.

Beautiful work, can't wait to hear it.

I have a premiere about the demo scheduled for tonight here:

It's italian spoken but guitar sound is such an international language!

 

[goat-n-gitter]

Way to make it your own! I'll be looking forward to hearing the demo.

Ridiculously good looking guitar.

Never heard of the bridge manufacturer, do you have a link to them?

This is him on eBay:

https://www.ebay.it/sch/musicinternational/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

And this is the bridge:

Please do me a favour: If you are gonna buy from him, tell him that you have seen a video from Moody Frazier on youtube into the order notes. He's a sponsor of my youtube channel and he's a very good artisan. He MUST be encouraged to make more things 'cause he's able to resolve a massive amount of guitarists' problems.

Wow, these are really inexpensive. Looks like they’re from the same manufacturer in China that has other ones for sale on eBay too.

Great job on personalizing your guitar. I enjoyed the demo. Thanks for sharing.
