The Sinister Evolution of Frankensugar...mmmwahahahaha

[Gio_Force_One]

My wife always told me the money from the shows i played she didnt care what i did with it, so that was good. and with the money i bought a light show for the band and then my first Luke.

Gigs paid for your Luke?

Nice.

I sold almost my whole guitar and amp collection to raise $10,000 when we bought this house five years ago, so she's always said that I can build it back up again one day. She didn't think I'd try to do it all in a span of a few months, however...

I do miss my green tolex Trace Elliot all-tube half-stack. Emerald green with creme knobs. Trace made my Gibson Super Goldtone amp in England, but I did keep that one and my '82 Marshall JCM 800. I've had that JCM 800 for about 20 years!

What type of music does your band play, Gio? What is your band's name and when can I go see you? I'll gladly pay admission knowing part of it is going toward your next EBMM

Just providing an update on Frankensugar:

She's been seen sporting an evh D-Tuna and a creme colored ebmm 'Tone' knob...thanks ebmm customer service.

Still my #1 go-to guitar....by the way, I've never seen another like it which has the Floyd Rose. Does anybody else own one?

You are a brave man....operating on a nice Axis.........I couldn't do it.....I am glad you are happy!!!!

 

[GHWelles]

Can you use a heat gun instead of a razor to strip the finish?

Huh? No, I kept it with the Black Sugar finish.

 

[GHWelles]

Sorry wrong thread, I was trying to respond to the re-finishing the Rockstar finished Sterling Ax model where he scraped the finish off

This mod is reversible. Unlike my body altering mod on Oinky. But I'm keeping both Axii forever.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

How about a black Tele knob? And maybe seek out some all black Axis pickups?!

 

[Jamie M]

The black beauty!!

Well, the crooked tuners (due to the slightly different screw locations on locking tuners versus standard tuners) finally got to me, and I had to drill new holes to set the tuners in at the proper angle. The reason I switched was because I wanted all black hardware, and black standard tuners are not available from Schaller.

I taped the drill bit for depth.

...and, a pic with her PDN sister:

This Black Sugar Axis is still my number one favorite guitar of all time. I love it.

Wow man, this Baby looks hot!

Great job. Nothing wrong with making it personal to you. Thanks for the pics.

Thank you!

The next mod on the horizon for Frankensugar is a Sustainiac:

 

[koogie2k]

It's going to be a completely different guitar. Good on ya bro!

 

[Rufedges]

looks good. Floyd's and I don't mix, I really like the EBMM vintage tremolo though, just enough bending I need with super stability.

Resurrection of an old post, but Bryan, that should be renamed: The "Darklord Axis".

 

[Stratty316]

Ps.. How is the PDN treating you with the trem route?

Careful what you say or bRyan will have the headstock sawn off and reversed as his final mod
