I am a returning user, after my account has been dormant since 2014 or so. I'm a western Canadian bedroom guitar hero with more interest in modding and tinkering with my JMJM more than playing it...
Been lurking again after finding a newfound re-interest in playing and being a nerd with my guitars. As well as DIYing pedals and such with my friends, so I'm looking forwards to sharing what I've been working on with y'all! An, of course, a required image of my JMJM, which is my #1 guitar....
Some info about her;
Current Specs:
- A 2011 Model
- Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups
- Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing JS112 (AKA: .12s)
- Stock wiring
- Allparts white Witch Hat Knobs and Rhythm Switch
- All other hardware is stock
- Replacing those rhythm knobs with white ones (once I can find a 3D model for them) to make all of the controls match in colour.
- Finally shielding her with copper tape for noise reduction.
- Shielding the pickup covers with copper tape for noise reduction.
- Simplifying the wiring (since last time I modded it I didn't realize I could ground the components to the pickguard...
) - Replacing the AOM with a roller bridge for tuning stability; especially one that I can shim to make the string radius match.
- Getting a roller string tree to help with tuning stability.
- Replacing the foam under the pickup with some pickup springs and more springy foam to help raise the pickups higher.
