DIY Headless Guitar Conversion | Ibanez Gio Vader | Rattle Can Rust-Oleum Color Shift Paint | 2k Top

Описание: I set out to create a clean looking guitar with more sustain and comfortable to play while seated.

By removing the inactive pickups you remove the drag on the strings from their magnetic fields, it is there even if the pickups are inactive. Converting the guitar to a fixed bridge and attaching it to an oak block seemed like the best way to achieve a ridged mount. I added the copper pickup cover to even the tone out. I have not listened to it with the cover off so I can't say there is an effect. It looks cool and it covers up the corrosion on the pickup. I can say it has great sustain and is comfortable to play.
