Transformed into a MONSTER!

I really like the custom parts tray you have. You can safely store parts and then each lunch after it has been reassembled! 😁

[@dougmaccormack9485]

...and it's bio degradable!

[@brettsmith7245]

I love it. You got the camera right in there good so we could see the fret ends , good job.

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Thanks!

[@philipthomas8440]

Its not about making the best guitars rock again, it's about making all of them rock again! Great job!👍👍👍🎸

[@dougmaccormack9485]

You got that right!

[@PGMR30]

Wow, turned out really well. Nice little jam at the end, too.

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@danielgriffith7694]

Awesome amount of love and knowledge you put into a beautiful instrument

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Thank you kindly! I did have a soft spot for the poor thing.

[@picksalot1]

I like the look of that guitar and the body shape is sweet.

[@dougmaccormack9485]

It's got that Burn's Bison vibe, doesn't it?

[@randallhaney7909]

Cool.. Love that guitar.. thanks for sharing Boss,

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Thanks for watching!

Nice work and really nice guitar ,I put a old Japanese guitar on layaway when I was 13 in1976 ,I was a paperboy and thats how I bought it ,still have it I ended up a few years ago replacing the slide switches and wiring them properly ,I also put a ABR bridge on it because the bridge that was original never intonated ,I think its a Tiesco with a zero fret but dont think it ever played this well ,it has odd sized P90 type pickups on it sounds great

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Retro coolness! Many are terrible but this one had a great neck! It responded well to a little love!

[@brettbunke9096]

I love how you can tell it’s going to be a great player when it doesn’t even have strings on it nice to see so much care put into a guitar like that

[@dougmaccormack9485]

It's all about the neck. It's where the rubber hits the road.

[@joecooper7803]

found one with similar features no trem less switches though Just feels like it will be great after a fret job and a couple tweaks

[@brettbunke9096]

Yes love it ! Give it the magic touch!😅

[@dougmaccormack9485]

The pickups are a bit wimpy. I'd love to rewind them HOT!

[@RobMods]

Nice work as usual. R is "rhythm", and I believe S is "solo". I have seen a few of these old Japanese guitars, and IIRC, the pickups will be wired in series, (but won't hum cancel), and the switches simply short the coils to switch them off. The R/S switch will have a cap wired in series when set to R, and shorted in S position. IOW, the R is basically a passive bass cut.

[@dougmaccormack9485]

You are right!

[@RobMods]

@@dougmaccormack9485 the rhythm setting is pretty useless IMO. I've got a diagram to have that s/r switch rewired as series parallel. Although that is for master vol and tone. Not sure how you'd do it with VTVT... I love these quirky old "pre lawsuit" (I made that up) Japanese models. They can be a challenge to fettle tho.

[@ast3663]

I love those big japanese dot inlays..did you remove the nail of death? ; )

[@dougmaccormack9485]

Nah. It was doing no harm in my view.

[@Goomer]

I love the old weirdo's, the guitar that is, not you Doug.

[@dougmaccormack9485]

I'm old?

[@lindsaythompson726]

Please turn off the music when you're talking. It's hard to hear what you're saying.

[@dougmaccormack9485]

I'll be doing a remix for sure!
