My Hs-P90 equipped Mockingbird LP UPDATED
« on: May 12, 2012, 01:30:42 AM »
 I've been wanting to get a Les Paul for a while to put my HS-p90's in, but with the quality new Gibbos of late, I didnt want to pay les paul money, i fell into this cheap and i think i left with my soul not getting a gibson. Many of you know I'm a BC Rich nut, so this seemed quite appropriate. I've modded this guitar considerable since I got it so listed are images in order of progression

STAGE 1 with Stock Rockfield Pickups


STAGE II with Pig-90 bridge and Super Massive in the neck





STAGE III Metamorphosis



Stage IV COMPLETE! 3 HS P-90's
PIG-90: bridge
Stockholm: Middle
Super Massive: Neck






I call this my Les Paul Killer NECKTHRU WINS

The pickups def. suits the guitar. I'm not really a fan of 3 pickup humbucker guitars so I would leave it as it is.

Thats a lovely looking guitar, very appealing and balanced shape. I'm normally very conservative too.

Ah one of the few BCs that appeal to me. There is something sliq about it, elegant even.

Lookwise I think I would leave this one as is, I fear a third PU might disturb "the flow" of the axe.

I think I still prefer the looks and the "visual balance" of the classic 24-fret Mockingbirds, but that is a very fine looking guitar.  The LP styling does definitely suit it.  :D

I guess it must feel quite "compact" with the bridge and tailpiece being so far down the body?  Almost like a Music Man.

I quite agree, it looks quite short when compared to my USA Mock

That was a bold piece of routing work, brave man!  :lol:

It does look good with the third pickup, I must say.  :)
