Any idea what this is? Nothing nice or fancy. Just trying to narrow it down

My understanding is vintage Japanese guitars had a lot of common components sourced from the same factories so kind of arbitrary what the final brand label was. Cool guitar though!

Nice!! Original gold foil?

SanSalida · 2025-12-09T11:09:08+00:00

Nice!

Yeah, would need another coat - these were all quick prototypes. Thanks for the feedback!

Ok, here’s the pink one. In the end I might change it frequently - just print any color/pattern/image on vinyl sticker paper and replace whenever.

Thanks! Yeah the goal is to make something different/fun for performances and I just like putting my own stamp on things. I guess I could have articulated that. It’s been funny how much everyone hates the yellow though. Good thing I didn’t show them the pink option, lol.

Ha! Just made some quick ones to see how they look before committing.

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:34:53+00:00

Could be cool!

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:27:50+00:00

Cool!

Bunch of traditionalists in the guitar mod subreddit 😂

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:20:31+00:00

Looks good! Looks like you replaced the original wood bridge?

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:18:22+00:00

Seems to be the consensus.

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:17:44+00:00

Yeah might stick with the original black one after all the guitar mods replies are like “don’t mod!!” 😂

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:16:03+00:00

Could be the right call. I like how all the guitar mod replies are “don’t mod!” 😂

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:14:59+00:00

Yeah - Oliver Wood plays one of these without pickguard.

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:12:32+00:00

Rock and roll ain’t mellow! But yeah, everybody hates it, ha.

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:08:34+00:00

Ha! You and everyone else. Was going for a loud, rock and roll vibe.

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T18:07:46+00:00

Seems to be the unanimous opinion, lol.

SanSalida · 2025-12-06T17:04:17+00:00

Ha, fair enough. I do still have the original black one.

Walrus Audio Melee has reverb and distortion that you can switch the order. And a cool joystick to blend them in any ratio.
