So a buddy of mine got this guitar for cheap off of ebay.  It’s an inexpensive chinese guitar, probably a kit put together by somebody here in the states.  The hardware on it is ‘ok’, but the pickups really needed replacing.  So I bought it off him and we came up with a plan for rewiring it using some new dragonfire screamer pickups and push pull pots so I could do the humbucker coil tap mod.

I’ll be doing away with the tone knobs, and basically each knob will control one pickup.  The switches will still do the front/both/bridge and top/both/bottom neck selections.

Since I was going to do that much work, I decided I might as well just go full bore and repaint it as well.  Not a fan of the plain white paint job on it.

Here’s a couple of pics I took before I remove everything from the guitar.

And here we go, stripping the paint off the body and the headstocks.

Stay tuned, More to come this weekend.
