SOOO.. over the last few days being couped up in my small house with nothing much internet and junk food I have been inventing. Or rather been planning on my new creating! A Frankenstein of such, but with MY GUITAR.
*cue random drop in sunlight*
*lightning*
*flickering light on my face with insane laughter*

I have decided over the next however years it takes me to completely pimp up my electric guitar.

Here is it at present

Here is a few mods I plan on doing with external links where necessary. I really don't think anyone will understand this, nor bother reading this pathetic blog but here goes.

1. This is currently already half done.. sorta. I'm getting a new pickguard for my electric. If you look at this link you'll see an obvious different between my above photo. Why I want to change it is because of the difference you see. I really want a good proper humbucker pickup. Which this has. Eventually I'll replace it with something a bit more pricier and therefore better.

2. I'm planning on getting it painted Metallic Black, coz well it's awesome.

3. I'm going to eventually put a Fernandes guitar sustainer. Which looks like a pickup but is completely different. What is does is making make the guitar "sustain" a note. Usually you twang a guitar and the note dies out eventually. What this does is keep the note ringing aswell as having a really cool harmonic setting.
Here are some links
official site
If you wanna know more just google/youtube it.

4. Finally with what I've got planned is having an inbuilt guitar pedal. You know those things guitarist sound their guitar through before and amp to get cool sounds? Well one of those inbuilt in the guitar. Cut a whole in it and some fancy electronic work and you are all set.
Here is a guitar with one inbuilt as well as the sustainer I wanted. As well as some other cool mods I am considering doing in the future aswell.

Note: I'm not a pro guitar player. Infact I'm first and foremost a bass player. I just needed something to keep me occupied over the next few years so I don't die from VCE. But yer, who knows this might be number one of many other numerous creations later on. Doing something like this to a bass guitar would be cool.

Thanks for reading. Peace.

(sorry for whatever grammar issues there might be I cbf proof reading)
