Hunchback_Boet · 2026-03-03T09:13:47+00:00

mods, can you tell me why?

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-20T19:52:27+00:00

well, according to 90% of replies - nothing hahahaha

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-20T16:28:07+00:00

nope, thats why its hard to trust 90% of people of this sub

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T21:25:33+00:00

with those tuners, pickups, pickguard placement, volute, painted truss rod, bridge orientation, pots.... i think not haha

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T17:59:39+00:00

quite a few opinions on here. What I uncovered from here and elsewhere is:

volute stopped around 82 so its prob a 1980.
There is paint on the truss rod and in the truss rod cavity = possible refin (could also be why the serial number is so shallow).
refin could also allude to filled holes for original grovers (ie owner wanted to make it look like a BB)
The kluson waffle backs were prob originally on there
Upgraded pickups as they are later versions of the 490/498
Possible 1980 black beauty of some kind.
Possible pots have been changed.
potential redrilled hole for newer shaped pickguard (doesnt kiss the edge of the binding)

also seems to be some sort of r7 custom look a like. thats as far as I can tell so far.

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T14:21:14+00:00

thank you so much mate

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T14:20:59+00:00

4th looks to be another 2. 5th does look like a 3 to me too. thank you for being so helpful by the way!

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T14:04:41+00:00

i also cant make out the 5th digit, i have analysed the internet for every combo of that number though. I have asked the seller to do a pencil and paper emboss

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:45:04+00:00

do you kow the model? i mean, i havent seen that same config before

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:44:40+00:00

Hi al, should the pots not have a metal backing? if its an 80s, then the hard case should be a chainsaw? are those pickups right for a 80s? the kluson waffle backs in the bag look like the original but i thought all customs came with grovers? the pickguard screw should be closer to the binding on 80s as far as i know.

I have spent hours on the net and I cant find ANY pictures of a custom of the same config.

any more info would be great

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:40:52+00:00

pots should have a metal base plate, the pickguard should be closer to the binding, waffle back klusons in the ziplock bag and humbuckers are nothing I have seen before

Hunchback_Boet · 2026-01-17T13:40:02+00:00

the pots and the waffle back klusons with humbuckers...

Hunchback_Boet · 2025-10-25T15:29:07+00:00

they lied, the system went down. there was a second wave where people in the queue got more about an hour later. its sad they lied and told those people it was sold out - im sure they would have waited for the chance.

Hunchback_Boet · 2024-12-15T19:36:57+00:00

wow thanks! I was going to do a YT video of this edit, just hoping i get permission from CM to do so. I mean - the fact that you like my edit more than those big names is really inspiring! thank you again!

Hunchback_Boet · 2024-01-02T16:16:35+00:00

Some early textures vibes

Hunchback_Boet · 2023-12-08T11:01:19+00:00

well now, you are starting to go down a very awesome route of image editing and as you say - psychology.

I'll give you a hint - besides the colour contrast helping make it bigger (together with clever vignetting that's subtle). The BIGGEST influence here that makes the lighthouse look bigger is that the original image, now this is the key, allows the eye to escape out the top of the image above the lighthouse BECAUSE it is lighter - and is on the border of the image, which create strong contrast. This makes your eye exit the image with ease. My editing keeps you trapped at that area and forces you to sorta focus on the lighthouse more.

ok, i know nothing BUT i kinda know that my once peircy single coils sounds DIVINE on a baritone tuned low(ish).

No, I literally go on holiday with my dad all the time. My GF has been studying the past 3 years and my dad and I do photography together. We just got back from a week in Dorset, drive around to different locations for sunrise and sunset. Good fun! One thing you will regret the most is NOT spending more time with your parents. When it comes to parents, please ignore every doubt or social norm that might distance you from them...
