It got into the 50s here!

Yay!

So, maybe I’ll send my Jackson down your way to run through a Mesa test drive...

...You can do some junk-rubbage...

...and get some pics...

...you send it back...

...I disinfect it...

Hey, it could become a forum ritual!
 
My Pleasure -- and EXCELLENT paint job man -- that hing has gone from a base model low end to a GLAM ROCK MACHINE-- Bootsy would be proud!!!
I may have to perm my hair if I ever play it out.
 
Is this the origin or the legendary "Mojo"?
or maybe Smells Like Teen Spirit?

Adrian, you are certainly one of a kind; glad to be here with you, and y'all.
No disrespect, this is a complement: you know how dogs just hump on (on?) stuff?

It is a strange imagery, worth a chuckle in my somewhat askew view of things in general.
My female lab is always humping my male lab mix; it may be a sign of asserting dominance but I think she just loves her buddy.

Its that.....I cant play the damn things might as well dominate them!

You may remember I live in a Zoo (Really) this farm has (at present) 9 dogs 3 cats -3 goats--2 pigs a bunch of chickens--geese--ducks--AND exotic birds Parrots Cockatiels love birds---

honking squawking squealing barking crowing mess

So its just natural for me :)


ANd that pic is adorable!
 
Great work Hack! This thread really makes me want to go back to work on some of my project guitars. I miss the days when I used to be able to spend a big portion of my day reading and posting here.

Those pics look like you’re at the car wash.

Reminds me of a little song...


And, just like the song says, “the boss don’t mind sometimes if you act a fool!”

Hey wait a minute here,those pictures of the Zero with Adrian are sportin a Bigsby B5 not the Hacked up B3 ???????
Thanks so much guys.

Sharp eye there JG. Yes it's true.
My B3 conversion was a failure. Moved my string tension roller closer to the bridge, but couldn't palm mute with it.
Then I ended up with an area that was pock marked up with mounting holes, so I tried to hide it with a black stripe.

Another failure... Ended up going back to square one and filled the holes and took another shot at refinishing. And yes, that is a can of Bondo in the upper left corner...

Then added a much modded B5 with 360 degree handle, string thru bar ( no pins) and removed the top mounting leg of the B5 and put the mounting screw under the spring cup.

I think I've got the right formula this time!

Cool approach.

That’s the same thing Gibson did with their vibratos. There is no forward mounting leg on the handle side. The screw hole is located in the spring cup, just like you did.

In this shot of my ‘74 SG, You can’t see the actual screw hole because the guitar is strung up, but you can see that there is no mounting leg.
