    got this 2nd hand a few months ago , couldnt take the finish .

    so I got rid of it ;)

    it aint perfect , but it looks and also sounds a lot better .

    it just sanding selaer with a little oil on top.
    the neck is as it was when i took the paint off- its already finished so i just wire wooled it.

    used paint stripper on the neck , and heat gun on the body
    took 3 hours in total - real easy to do to these babys.


    anyone any good reccs for pickups ?

    I want to use it for clean and crunchy with the odd bit of very heavy so it needs high quality and musical pickups .

    not shredder pickups - but able to do heavy at a push , think acdc and the cult electic album heavy .

    Very nice but I think it would look 10 times better with a black pickguard.

    Very good job - looks 1000 times better than that textured finish EBMM used on the subs. I would just lash some Gibson pickups into her - like the ones they use in the SG standard. Hard to beat but to be on the safe side, check the string spacing as I think that the pole spacing at the bridge is 52 mm and 50 at the neck in an SG. Might be different on the EBMM. Mind you, aren't the pickups on the sub not DiMarzio's? They should be pretty hot.

    by the way - heres a tip if you want to maximise the resonance , low end and tone of a bolt on neck - sand off the lacquer on the neck where it bolts to the body

    and sand off any paint or lacquer in the neck pocket.

    once these two are bare wood - bolt them back together - and prepare to be amazed at the extra body in the sound you will get.
