2 new painkiller Guitars for LGS
« on: April 24, 2007, 02:15:53 AM »
This year I decided to make some new guitars as well as Pimp out a couple I had for the show.
I really wanted to do something with a Judas Priest vibe which would allow me to use the latest BKP Painkiller pickup set.

One will be a black Flying vee that would be great for KK Downing and the other is a Pimped Gibson SG made to look rather like Glenn Tipton's favourite axe from the early 80s

Here is a picture of that SG as a work in progress- hopefully get the Painkiller pickups tomorrow and also awaiting a chrome truss rod cover too
More pix as the work unfolds
Should both be at the LGS this weekend

Hi Jonathan,

I see the original has a John Birch Bridge/Tailpiece combination.  Can you get hold of these at all?

Cheers
Phil

Probably a stupid question, but why is that (very fine) SG missing a tone knob?

It's away being buffed on the soft inner thighs of a nubian princess, such is Jonathon's  dedication to a quality finish :lol:

Sorry for delay in posting these pix.
I know Davey has been itching to see them even though he has played the beast.
