Hi this is Dave from the everythingSG forums, guitarist /songwriter in the doom band Sloven.

My guitars for Sloven (C standard tuning) are a 2006 Epiphone '58 Korina Explorer and a 2007 Gibson SG Special Worn Yellow, both heavily modified with Tone Pros, Grover, Bareknuckle, etc. Both of them are in pieces at the moment having further mods during the Xmas lull but will be back together by Tuesday

I also have a 2013 Squier Vintage Modified 70's Jazz bass in the same tuning, with Audere Pro JZ3 preamp, Quarter Pound pickups, and all Hipshot hardware


In addition I have a 2006 Gibson SG Junior Coral Pink with a Graph Tech bridge, Grovers, and Bareknuckle Stockholm P-90, and a 2011 Gibson SG Standard with BKP Cold Sweats and some other mods like Tone Pros bridge and tailpiece set

Besides those the only others are a cheap Greg Bennett Samick dreadnaught steel-string acoustic and a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe harmonica (D)
 
I managed to get the SG Special back together before going out for a few New Year's Eve drinks with friends.

Here are some photos. It is now fully shielded (the pickup cavities and pickguard are also shielded with the slug tape but I didn't take photos of that. I also added some foam to the bottoms of the cavities to reduce vibration and tilt the pickups forward slightly. I tested it out through my little 30W Randall practice amp today and it all works. I had broken one of the pickup selector switch wires so while repairing it I took the opportunity to deal with some of the noise issues I had been experiencing in the band room.

I am actually housesitting for a friend who is visiting people in Sydney for the weekend so that's not my house and drum kit.
 
Cheers.
