Re: NGD - studio 50's tribute

Ha! Nice, I like the "limited edition" TRC. I was thinking about a "Studio" one for mine.

Any other mods planned? I would really like to see a white or black one with the cream plastics swapped out for blacks, but I am dreading it because then I would want one for purely cosmetic reasons.

Peace

Rex

Re: NGD - studio 50's tribute

thanx guys...

if you buy the tribute for cosmetic reason you'll be surprised how good it sounds...

about mods... not really... i only tried to swap the plastics of the tribute with my special...

the PG is not a p-90 one but it gives a good idea of how it could look like...

the special looks goofy

edit : i have to change the button on the tribute... i don't like those ones... maybe reflectors silver or gold... or others if you have a better idea

Re: NGD - studio 50's tribute

Wait a second, the Studio Tributes (both 50s and 60s) should come with a plain black truss rod cover. I made my comments with that in mind.

I was thinking of putting a "Studio" one on mine just for kicks, but it's not that important to me.

meursault, you're saying that your guitar came like that from the factory?

Peace

Rex

The black covers look good on it, but I would ditch the speed knobs

Re: NGD - studio 50's tribute

I like the flat black color, looks like very little resin.
Kind of like spray paint-but in a proffessional quality kind of way.(?)
Nice axes bubba!
