Grateful Dead Music Forum

Hey All,

Just wanted to share with you my Jerry Axe that I just got back from getting modified. The mod were done by Brian at http://www.9mileskid.com/home.html . Brian did a fantastic job. I, well we, me and brian, were not happy with the finish on my guitar so he sanded it down and put a glossier finish on my guitar. Then he went to work and took out the Sustaniac Pup that was in there and added another DiMarzio HS2, UGB by Waldo and Stratoblaster with Garcia Mod (he gave me the deluxe Blaster with the original J230 FET and Allen Bradley Carbon Comp). I got the guitar back from yesterday and it played as good as it looked. These Jerry mods are great but they are a beast and I see in my future a few long nights learnign this guitar, but it will be a labor of love. I highly recommend Brian is was very good at answering my questions in a timely matter and he also kept me a breast of the progress of the guitar with out me having to hound him, hehe. In fact I am so happy with his work I am going to start saving to have him build me a neck through Wolf style guitar. I am unable to add pics, sorry. Brian said he will have pics on his site soon, check out his site for pics.


Mods can you leet me add some pics to this board, please?

This should help

I haven't put the pics on my site yet... but I can put a couple here for you.

Thanks for the kind words "o) My pics don't do the new finish justice, but it did come out nice





And here's the 'Before' pic:

Here's the sides and back:

Wow! Brian you have another winner! Is that a Warmoth body? I love how it came out. I concur with eyesoftheworld - Brian's finishes are spectacular.

Sweet!

The body is indian Rosewood and yes Brian brought out the full beauty of the wood. I don't know if I want to play it or just look at it hehe. Think I'll look at while I play it. The guitar is a beast now going to take some time to tame it but will be well worth it, yes indeed.

Thanks Brian for posting the pics for me.

Beautiful work!

Beautiful. What was the second selector switch for "before"?

It was for a Sustainiac Pup. http://www.sustainiac.com/

It came originally on the guitar. here a link on how it was originally http://www.gbase.com/gear/greenman-guit ... y-garci-20

I had the inlay done by this guy http://www.bilmitchell.com/

Both Bill and Brian have been fantastic with their work.

Beautiful!

Got a question..... what is the sonic difference between the Blaster you have and the stock, Alembic Stratoblaster?

Thx!

That looks killer. If I had that many pu/sound choices at my fingertips I would be constantly fiddling with them.

Well done! Enjoy.

LOL I find myself wanting to.. Fo rnow i am just wokring on finding the pickup combo I want for a song and keeping it. Maybe later I I get more used to it I can switch things up in a song for like a solo or change of mood. First have to learn to walk with it before I can fly hehe.

Thanks for all the kind words I am taking it out for its maiden voyage this Saturday. a friend is letting me sit in with his band. I will post sounds once I get back (if they are worhty hehe)

Beautiful wood on that guitar!

And just to give credit where credit is due…that beautiful inlay was designed by Susan Wickersham and crafted by the artisans at Alembic. Here's the original.
