My main guitar, La Cab-brutal-nita
« on: July 09, 2011, 09:18:11 PM »








This is pretty punk, innit?


So, basically this is a swamp ash Tele Deluxe from Warmoth, with a counterfeit (or MIJ, I dunno) Fender Strat neck that I found in a bin. The pickup is of course the very lovely Alnico War Pig. I love this thing to death, to put it mildly.

I would love it with a different scratchplate.  :(

I wouldn't be "brave" enough to use a completely unfinished body like that, and I hate seeing gaffer tape on a guitar (I'm just too.... fussy, I suppose!) 

But I like the basic concept.

Yeah, very nice.

Is it a "brutal" guitar?  How versatile is a WP in a single pup guitar?  Can it "crunch" as well as "djent", of you know what I mean?

If this guitar ever "djents" it will be over my dead body.

That said, the WP cleans up very nicely indeed, but of course it's main strength is that signature roar it has. The stuff I play currently is more of a "wall of sound" thing than the staccato stuff normally found in modern metal, and it does that extremely well!

Cool and functional... I like it. It reminds me of my own super T with the natural body an the cool wood grain. Nice one.

Yeah, I like it too. Mostly because you saved that poor neck from destruction, but it does look pretty sweet. I'd dirty that thing up for another year and then rub a few coats of Tru-oil or Danish Oil on it to lock in the funk and protect the wood.

That's actually a damned good idea! I'm gonna have to steal it.
