My Modded OLP MM1

[coolez]

I recently stopped by Guitar Center and picked up a purple OLP MM1, of course only to mod the hell out of it. [img]images/smilies/rock.gif[/img]

I had an original Floyd Rose just laying around, so I installed it. Much thanks to el_jalapeno whom I forgot to thank for the advice. I also sanded the finish off the neck and applied tung oil for that nice feel. I'd eventually like to change the volume pot, the pickup selector switch and the input jack as well.

I didn't even play the guitar when I brought it home, instead I just starting working. So when I finished I was pleasently suprised as to how it sounds. For being a cheap guitar the pickups are quite good. Of course it does have a photo top, but who cares, right? This would make a good guitar to take to gigs if I ever decide to get back into that again.

I'll be posting some more gear a bit later.

No doubt about it, she's a beaut !!!

Only thing I don't like about these guitars is the actual logo on the headstock, but I'd get over that.

There's a couple in a guitar shop that I frequent. One day maybe. Don't think I'd be up to the customising required, but you gotta start somewhere hey ?

mondola,

Yeah, I can't stand that logo either. I was trying to think of ways to either get rid of it or cover it up. I think the only option is to strip the headstock and repaint, but by doing that I loose the quilt picture and who knows if I could actually match the color. Anyone have any ideas?
