NGD & NP(up)D - Danger: Lion and Tele content!
« on: September 21, 2011, 09:48:09 PM »
You may have noticed the purge that took place recently. That was to buy Cleggy's (marauder) Stratosonic and to get me some cash on top. However there was an LP thread and a picture of a certain purple lion appeared on it. I have issues with purple. I like purple a lot... Anyhow, I then ventured to Jon's site to find out that he had it back and it was for sale. I ummed and ahhed for a bit, but his offer to fettle the next bit of this post as part of the deal, essentially sealed it.

So here it is. Appols of the poor pics, it's pitch black and that's with a desk lamp and a flash! Clicking on the pics should make them much bigger.





The fettling Jon did was routing a humbucker hole in my Badger and making me a pick guard. Jon's work is absolutely spot on brilliant. It's now been loaded with a BG50 & unpotted Mule. What a match made in heaven they are! They sound utterly made for each other. Oh the reversed control plate is just a personal preference thing.

My first impulse is to say that the first one is horrific because of the color, but there is something strangly attractive about it that pulls me further in the longer I look at it....my precious....

BKPs in use: 10th set / RY set / Holy Diver b, Emerald n / Crawler bridge, Slowhand mid MQ neck/ Manhattan n
On the sidelines: Stockholm b / Suppermassive n, Mule n, AM set, IT mid

Good lord, they both look fantastic!  :o

I love the purple!  Normal sunburst LPs look lovely, but there should be more purple, blue and green ones too....


I didn't know Jon made scratchplates.  Could come in handy.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

I think we need a get together sooner rather than later!

You HAVE to bring those along if we ever get together for a pedal day!  8)

Jon made me a scratchplate for my cheapie Tele, very good work.

What pickups does the Lion have?

Very very nice planks! That tele must be pretty versatile like this. Btw, I always like the broadcaster-look.
Mules, VHII, Crawler, MM's, IT's, BG50's.

I couldn't be happier with it. I'm not 100% comfortable with LPs and this I am. It's just right, everything about it. Love the finish in person, it looks even better than it does in the pics.

I don't like quilt or purple on guitars so the Lion isn't to my tastes at all, but the tele looks great :)

No worries. Should have a load more pedals built shortly also (got a few days off work and a backlog of them to catch up on)

What pickups does the Lion have?

RY's as Jon mentioned.

I'm down to 4 guitars now, all loaded with BKPs (also got a Fender Stratosonic with a pair of BKP91's and a Ltd Viper with MM/CS and a SHO on a push/pull) and all keepers. It's almost sensible.
