Any customized EBs out there?

[MusicManJP6]

Just wondering what all customizations have been done to EB guitars. I've seen a few knob replacements here and there, but not many other customizations...

Anyone have pics of their customized EB guitars?

Thanks for asking

This one started life as a hardtail now it is a lowers pitch only floyd. The neck pup is a split coil and it has a Steve Morse Style Bridge Pickup Activation Switch (SMSBPAS). This was my college graduation present from my mom and my first EBMM. It was stolen from my friend's house. He use to be terminally ill but he's not any more.
I still miss this guitar very much because it represents a lot of love, hard work, dedication, commitment and very much a reason to live when it just doesn't seem possible. To me no guitar will ever be more custom.
I miss my friend more.
(Sorry for the rant)

Cool dog Brent! Why is his coat so Silver ? Never seen a Schanu with that clear of a Silver coat, most I have seen are peppered. Neat.

This one started out as Pearl Redburst. The shipping company brutalized the guitar en route to a customer, and broke a chunk out of the body. After replacing the customer's guitar, I decided to purchase the broken carcass for myself, and have some fun with it. Here's the assembled result, a triple color-shift sparkle:

The Molten Gemstone JP7. I guess since there is only one, it's a "rare sparkle" ?

That paint job has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen...WOW...I have never seen anything like that...How is this possible??? That is super cool...

Tyler...essentially the colors that show are shot in layers...and at different angles they show thru....pretty darn sweet. Pete rules!

Yepp, did a complete makeover to my first EBMM (Silhouette Special pearl purple).
It came to me completely beatup and needed refretting and refinishing the neck.
Pickguard was a mess and non original EBMM and same were pickups.
I ordered a moonstone HSS pickguard at EB through my dealer and had him install a DiMarzio ToneZone at the bridge and two of thoses awesome KINMAN ('62 models if I remeber correctly) in the middle and the neck position.
A few other small mods on that one, but find pics at:

The next Silo Special will also be slightly modified when arriving in a few days hopefully...
