Bought another one last week

Getting to know yet another guitar in the collection, so far so good. Picked it up last Thursday, brand new, sporting p90s and a version of the TV finish.
Back in the day of black and white television, White guitars seemed to glow a little to bright when filmed for the boob tube, so Gibson came out with the TV finish, thus creating a finish that looked white on television, without the glare of a true white finish.


Guess I'll save this for the black and white videos.

Guts

Boss ds-1 Mod

Got into my Boss ds-1 distortion unit and did the first stage of some mods that I am spilling some time into. This first mod is real wacky and I borrowed it from Casper Electronics. This mod is very easy and adds another dimension to this pedal. A simple addition of some wires a switch and a transistor (2N3904 NPN). For a entery level 80's distortion pedal this thing is starting to wake up. My next phase for this unit is to execute the Keeley seeing eye mod, just gotta find the correct guts.

Here is a lame recording of me dinking with the effect:

Raspberry Filled Donut

Greetings from the Auxlo cave, just finished operating on one of my mod projects. I have decided to call this build my "Raspberry filled donut". Just added some new pickups that have given it an odd sound that I am getting to know. rewired the whole damn thing using wire schematics from a standard strat from the 50's, keeps it simple and to the point. Recorded a test to see how it does under the red light and noticed it records a lot hotter than some of my other devices, definitely a learning process in less is more. Learning to find its sweet spot will be a fun adventure. If you fear not the donut then have a listen.
