Show us your S.U.B. and explain your mods

[brokenvail]

Title says it all. I have S.U.B. on the brain. Post pics of your sub and tell us how you modded it. If you did some routing naked pics would be awesome too

First let give a shout out to the Ball family. This guitar was donated by them for a charity auction close to my heart. I won the guitar and I want to say "Thank You" to EBMM for your generosity.

This guitar started out life as a single hum no trem guitar. I sanded the whole thing down and went with a metallic Red paint and a Wilkinson VS100 trem. It has a pearloid pickguard, GFS pickups (very good tone), push\pull tone pot for bridge on, Schaller locking tuners, Roland GK3, and of course the New England Patriots Minute Man. So since I went through all this work, I named the guitar after me.

Seems that after all my documentation of my first time through, with a cherry burst attempt.....then routing, sanding and redoing black with faux binding, I didn't bother with pictures. Routed for HSS. Silo Spec pickups with silent circuit but with Strat 5 way (no splitting on hum), so position 2 is full hum and middle. The switch turns on/off the silent circuit. Body has forearm contour and belly contour. All the paint is spray bomb in my cellar with lots of water sanding and lots of clear. Back and sides are unsanded/satin.

Hi Brokenvail, why would you be selling the graph tech saddles, if you don't mind me asking
I'm in the middle of planning a mod to my sub and I'm thinking of replacing the saddles since I really love hipshot style bridges.
thnx
