Red and gold SG-style partscaster and some hardware (now free, see description)

imalone

Hi,

Time for me to part ways with this one. It was built a long time ago for a partscaster challenge here: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/18561/ and while I really should just stick it on ebay I thought I’d give it a chance to stay with the board, in a good home where it will be fed the diet of double-stopped riffs it deserves.

Started as a G4M “Brooklyn” kit (maple neck, basswood body, 22 fret, 628mm scale) https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Brooklyn-Electric-Guitar-DIY-Kit/1SUL

However it has an Oil City bridge pickup, and replacement bridge, tuners (wheel-locking 19:1), nut (graphite) and electricals from Axetec.

Neck oil and wax finished. The body is finished in a varnished fabric wrap.

Pickups:

Bridge: Oil City Mighty 90 ~8.8k.

Neck: stock humbucker ~12k

3-way selector switch, all pots 500k log, 0.022μ caps, 50s-style wiring (cap on output), screened cable. One pot has a push-pull switch, but this isn’t wired to anything currently.

Nut, neck, frets and bridge have been set up by yours truly, I’m sure someone else can do a better job. If I’m honest it’s a bit top heavy, but entirely playable. Some sound samples from the original pickups (not the mighty 90). Might be able to do a new one if anyone wants, but my playing is probably worse now than it was here.

There's another heavier one in the build thread https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/18561/

Some extra stuff that can go with it:

• Stagg bag
• ~4m red Van Damme cable with 90° jacks.
• Stock neck humbucker ~12k (two lead)
• Original tuners (modern heads, large dome buttons)
• New strings, Rotosound yellows/10s.
• Black pickup surrounds, truss rod cover and pick guard.

Could be of interest to someone who likes customising things or is after a really striking looking guitar.

Ideally collect from or handover in London. Since I've had no offers this is going to whoever wants it, I'll consider posting if you're willing to pay the postage.

* This is an older style Mighty 90 from 2014 with nickel cover, they don’t seem to make this option any more.

Obviously, don't be shy to make an offer!

Thanks, I blatantly copied his technique, he wrote a description of how to do it which I guess is still on here somewhere. Also, just realised I must have disabled reply notifications years ago...

Now free to whoever wants it, though I'll give priority to charitable use.

That looks ace. Someone snap this up before I offer a charitable donation for it
