Carvin GK1 bolt-kit with mahogany body, fixed bridge, C22B/TBH60/TBH60 pickups (with coil-splitter upgrades on the pots.)
I also own:
- SX SST57 Vintage (Heavily-modified): Upgraded trem to US vintage w/steel sustain block. Installed hand-shielded 5.5K single-coils and GFS Loudmouth pickup in an HSS config. Upgraded tuners to Wilkinson locking, upgraded pots+cap and added full cavity/pickguard shielding.
- Johnson JG-650-T (thinbody cutaway acoustic w/active Fishman electronics). Pretty decent guitar (with a little setup work), despite its low price. This one was purchased largely due to the crappy nature of the TLSE acoustic simulator
- SX short-scale Jazz Bass copy (Fender doesn't make a short-scale J-bass, so I found this little gem/oddity at Rondo Music (http://www.rondomusic.net). Nice, very inexpensive bass for a "bass-as-a-third-instrument" instrument.
Booster pedal based upon Jack Orman's 'MOSFET Booster' design
