Shipped my 2015 True Historic to the amazing Florian Jäger for a full makeover last week.
Today he started working on it
I have chosen to go with the Bavarian Makeover 1 and 2.
So the guitar will get these new features:
- Brazilian fretboard with new inlays
- New 59 neck shape with less "shoulders"
- New correct top carve. The TH carve is much flatter than a real 59.
- New pore filler and aniline dye
- Real nitro. Not that plastic weird version that Gibson uses
- Tailpiece moved to the correct location and long iron studs.
- The serial stamped with the correct font
I have chosen to go with a Pearly Gates finish instead of the factory Dirty Lemon .
Also the guitar will be upgraded with these parts:
- DMC aged Pickup rings
- DMC switch knob
- DMC ABR-1
- DMC aluminium tailpiece
- Dave Johnson aged pick guard
- Creamtone Poker chip
- DMC Aged knobs
- Kluson machine heads with DMC buttons
Some of you guys will probably think I´m crazy for doing this to a True Historic guitar.
The thing is that I´ve tried a couple of Florians makeovers and they are on a completely different level than what Gibson CS puts out.
Will post more pictures soon.
