Ngd: Sub1

[jzeijen]

Unexpected NGD in 2014.. Was looking for a 'budget' guitar to put in D standard/drop C tuning permanently. Then I bumped into this one and thought, why not! The seller turned out to be a fellow forum member and hè made me a good deal. Already planned to sand the neck on this one, and boy what an improvement! Really fun job to do also. Future modding is a possibility, pickups and pickguard maybe? Anyway, she's tuned to drop C know (12-54), works perfectly.

That looks REALLY nice! I LOVE the black pickup/white pick guard look. Outstanding! Congrats on a great find!

That came out really great.

Awesome! Remember that silo spec pick guards fit perfectly.

Such a great guitar for the money...wish at the time I could have kept mine AND get another Luke..congrats! I for one LOVED the pups btw.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, really pleased how the neck turned out. It is really smooth after the oil/wax treatment. As much as I like the finished neck on my AL HH, the finished neck on the SUB wasn't my taste. Plus it had some minor scratches/dings, which are now gone.

Don't think you can get a more solid guitar for the money. The pickups sound good, so for now it's ok.

Not to hijack but since we're on the subject of Sub1's, I think after I get my finances in order (thanks to the incoming Reflex ) I'm going to save up and find a Sub1 with a trem on it in a HH configuration like yours. The pups on those ROCK! The only thing missing are locking tuners which could be retrofitted I'm sure.

Ah, you're in luck. The trem equipped versions do have locking tuners!

I guess I should have looked closer as I thought the tuners on yours weren't the locking type. Nice!

The tuners on the trem model lock/unlock on top with a coin or screw driver. Not on the back with a wheel like other Music Man guitars. Still, they work quite well. I've seen no need to upgrade mine.
