[PROJECTii] OLP Luke to True gold HH

[sha33]

Hi everyone !

Back again with another project aside from the dargie delight. I have a second OLP wich was Candy Red, so i tought with not customize it.

Going from HSS to HH is not easy, i had to recut the single hole and fill the middle one with special composite.

So:

*True gold paint
*2 Dimarzio Transition Humbuckers
*Piezo Sadles by Graphtech
*Schaler m6 Tuners
*Not Matching Headstock with stickers.

Ive already done the Headstock :



And here is the guitar today, with finished routing and undercoat.

The Project seems cool, but I wouldn't have put the EBMM Logo on it. I'm pretty sure that's Copyright Infringment, some folks that Refinish their Original Music Mans don't even put the Logo back on. I'd put a Custom Logo on it or the OLP Logo
I need to finish my JP Purple Sunset Prohject with all those Mods here lately

It's not really a copyright inprigement, because OLP was built under license of Ernie ball. It's an exact copy.

i agree with dave Nice build you got going, but i would remove the EBMM logo as it is not a true EBMM, and as dave said others have redone EBBM and they even dont put the logo back on once they have redone it..

Looks like you are doing a nice job...but the headstock is an issue.

Ask your local grocer if he is allowed to relabel the generic Fruit Spins as Kellogg's Froot Loops.

I think its fine as long as you never try to sell or misrepresent it, and its only for your own private use. But i could see how ebmm might not like it.

Nice project again!

 

[sha33]

Nice project again!

Thank you ! Those OLPs are fantastic, you can't compare them with EBMM of course, but with a few mods they are really great guitars, plays like dreams! And you can find them dirt cheap and mod them !

I got this one in exchange of a reverb module ! haha Does someone have infos on these OLP? Price new, made in what, when?

Olive gold? What is that? Nono, i mean True gold finish, that's the colour.

Very cool project. The wordmark is a trademark of EBMM, though. You can can see how there might be confusion down the line if/when somebody buys it and think they've purchased a Music Man- that's why Sterling Ball has asked that if you modify a guitar, you don't put the EBMM logo on it.

I don't know, I would certainly not put an EBMM logo on a headstock on a similar project if I could do it -- out of respect of EBMM and all the work they do to make their guitars excellent.

Yea i know. but i like it that way, even if it's not a real EBMM. The original OPL logo is ugly, and nothing i found it stupid. I feel like the guy who is sticking m3 on a 320d... lol

I ordered the true gold today, should be here quick !

any update on this project?

Hilarious Tollie! I didn't realize you were a "Fruit Spins" guy.....

 

[Samoht]

I would love to see an update as well. As someone who likes to tinker with guitars, I know it can be a slow process.

If you close your eyes, the Fruit Spins seem to taste better. Be advised, closing your eyes can also make your wife prettier. Try it!

Anyone know what the correct Kustom Kolor code is for True Gold?
