thanks a lot Feline! i may be asking some questions in a few weeks before i do the re-fret just so i'm sure with everything.


How $%&#ing high are those walls?

Do you live in a cathedral?

hahaha... no, it used to be our guest room, it's just a weird room in the house. it's just that one wall and a sloped ceiling. i never noticed how cool it was til i decided to finish my room and turn it into my music room.

this is the result of my hard work over my winter break. still not finished, but you should've seen how it used to look.

Wow... I can't believe how old this thread is! Well, believe it or not, it's finally finished! I haven't been on this site for so long either. To be honest, I kind of gave up on BKP's. I still had my Miracle man in my Gibbo V, but I sold my custom warpig for cash and didn't think I'd ever get another one again due to price. Well luckily for me I ran into some extra cash this winter, enough to at least kind of consider BKP. I still didn't think they'd be worth it. But with this Z, I wanted to go all out and I wanted the guitar to be perfect. It was actually the clips of Bulb (and I think Nolly?) playing the aftermath's that brought me back. I decided to just go for it and got myself a set of Aftermath's.

Well, I'm glad I did. Through my Engl E530, these are the most perfect pickups I've heard. This is the tone I wanted. I'm terrible at describing tones, so I won't. But they sound killer.

As for the guitar, here's a few pics of it finally finished!

Nice work. Those pickup covers are absolutely the perfect match, too!  Glad you like the aftermaths, such a good pickup :)

Thanks Wez! Sorry I didn't end up shipping it over to the UK to have you do it... but it was a good learning experience for me and much more satisfying in the end. Although to be fair, I cheated  :lol: After months and many unsuccessful tries of trying to do the fret job myself (they wouldn't seat), I took it to a luthier to have him do the frets and laquer the guitar. So happy to finally have it done though.
