Fezzy-Gib is done!

What an inspiring guitar! Warmoth bigass neck, CV50's body, bakelite guard. The pickups were ceramic cheapo's that had a decent low wind, so I replaced the mags with A2 and cooked all of the wax out of them. This thing is ALIVE! I'm so effing happy about this. Through my PTP Champ 600 it just roars, and cleans up great with the volume knob. It still has spank, the middle position is killer. The neck has the mellowness with the volume rolled back, but for some reason kept some sparkle with it wide open. The bridge flat out rocks, but when you roll the volume back it has some twang, probably 'cuz of the 25.5 scale.

RAWK!




Cheapo electrosocket I got for 6 bucks:



RAWK! (again)

So let's see, it sounds fantastic, was pretty cheap, and looks great too?

I'd call that a win-win-win situation!

Very nice. Now you can learn some of these licks, especially the little trick at 2:56....

Both of those guys are playing such great guitar in that vid. Yin and Yang baby.

I gots my own bag of tricks. Parlor tricks in comparison to Beck, but at least their mine.

Eh, my bad. The weather and a couple of other things caused enough re-routing that I couldn't make it. That's the life of a truck driver.
