So Do You Guys Think of This?

[emanon]

I know that nobody in here would do this and that most can't believe that someone would do this to such a lovely ASS. Now that we have established that none of you would do this and only a crazy person would do such a mod, would you rock this thing or not? It looks like a very good and clean job.

Call me crazy - and many people have, and continue to do so - but I like it. Trans gold top is very, very nice. And, the single coil just seems to fit-right-in. Bet it has some very sweeee-t tones waitin' to happen.

cheers always, eh

I'd say why not. It looks like a professional job and if it gives you the tone you're looking for go for it.

I can't tolerate stupid, but that looks functional. I'd have to hear it before I bought it though.

 

[Larry]

I wouldn't buy it sight unseen (eBay). But I sure would love to try it.

Michel Yves Kotchmann French Guitarist did that mod on a pink Evh few years ago

if you can read french some explanation here

Actually, I also would like to try something like that

 

[Spudmurphy]

Yup I agree with the mod - if that's what you want then it's your guitar to do as you please.

As long as other people are willing to accept the mod then nothing is lost - the bids on that one,are creeping up too!

 

[koogie2k]

I am all for mods and that looks like a very nice and professional mod. I would love to hear the tones of the added pup. Cool find.

emanon...you thinking of getting this?

It has crossed my mind, no doubt. As crazy as it sounds if it was an MM90 Axis with a middle pickup I'd be all over it.

 

[Pittman75]

Wanna buy my MM90 Axis and put a middle pickup in it?

 

[RocketRalf]

I'd totally dig those two. I'm not sure if the stock humbuckers split well, though. But I love my Silo HSH, the single coil there is a blessing, probably my favorite position on it's own. The pink one is too hot!

 

[DrBob]

I say OK

It's a valid and useful mod that looks like it's been professionally done. It'll probably affect the resale value should you want to sell it further on down the road, but equally if you get it for a good price now, what's the fuss ?

 

[candid_x]

Cool

 

[Pittman75]

If you like it- I'd do it. Try to use it as a haggling point too. Usually our "upgrades" are equity killers!

 

[paranoid70]

Looks really nice. If I didn't know better (and I do), it looks like it left the factory that way. I wonder how it sounds.

 

[Dizzy]

I like it.

The job looks well done, and the overall look of the axe is great.

 

[Astrofreq]

Hey, why not? If it sounds good...do it.

 

[lumberjack]

Have to agree with the other guys. I think it looks pretty good. And seems to be a pretty good job. And lets face it, I'm sure we've all seen worse mods than that.

Even though, I like the mod, I don't think I would have done it on the Pink EVH. The guitar is too valualble to do something like that. IMO.

 

[Ripper]

The mod was really well-executed, no doubt!

But I dont really like having too much pups on an axis. The shape of the axis to me is like a scaled down/electric version of a jumbo acoustics guitar. In my opinion, less is more here. Call me a mainstream bum but a HSH is best suited to a silo or some other makes' super strat models.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Seems like a really good job - go for it!

 

[DaveB]

I'm tempted!
