My Swirled Partscaster
« on: May 06, 2012, 01:53:07 AM »
The bridge and neck are temporary whilst i decide on specs for the neck and i'm also waiting for a kahler from jacksonRR whenever the pcbs arrive so it can all be shipped together.

Temporary pickups in atm. Entwistle HVX - ASN57 - HVX

The HVX are really nice pretty much like a cold sweat but less toppy and the midrange is a touch more aggressive. The aftermath set will end up in this over the next few days.

Strung with DR Neons which are a lot better than i expected. I've generally found coated strings to sound dull in the past but these sound just as good as the normal DRs.

Nice bro! With the green strings I would call this one ''the frog''.

GULP! I really can't see me wearing this (or my wife even letting it in the house!), but it does look kinda cool. :D

And the strings work well. Interesting what you say about them - my experience of covered strings has been the same, and when we were reading about these a while back I thought "they might look interesting, but what do they sound like?"


I can't help wondering, though, if you've "gone off" the metal for the moment, what are you planning on using this for? You'll get a few eyebrows raised if you show up at your local folk-club with this little beauty! :lol:

Well i doubt it'll be used for any folk :D So far it just fits very well tonally with anything 80s but i havent fully decided the purpose of this currently it's just my non ibanez guitar :D And well i guess it could be used for anything really as no matter what it's used for it will raise a lot of various reactions (probably disgust mainly :D)

I love the look of it. I'd never go there personally but thats because I am an old git and would look more stupid that I normally do.

I think that could be a little bit too much :D

A friend suggested getting UV light fretmarkers so the strings glow always.
