$750!!  How much would that be in today's money?

I like the idea of suping up cheaper axes and customizing them and making them sound more expensive than they really are.

I posted this earlier but for some reason it did not appear so totally repeating what I said then.

Below is my most expensive guitar.  It was made at Matsumoku Industrial in the 80s.

Not really into mega pointey guitars but this one appealed to me for some reason.  Modern pointy guitars do not do it for me at all.

This is all maple apart from the rosewood fretboard.  My one is in really good condition considering they are usualy in bad shape what with the pointy shape being prone to damage in the finish.  My one only has a few chips which I intend to repair now I have matched the colour with nail polish 

Here's some info and specs on your Dimension IV....

great guitar!!  Push pull pots on every pot.  One splits the coils, one inverts phase, and one turns the Middle single coil on independantly.  Weird tele sounds can be achieved in the middle between the two humbuckers on the 5 way.

If I do change out the bridge pup like I was saying to you SC I will defo hang onto the original.  It sounds great it's just very not strong anymore.  And is microphonic as hell.  I dunno whether I should pot it or not.

Hey RG, easiest is swap it out unless it's "the tone" you want. Yeah you could pot it or (probably more cheaply) try something new

It is unique sounding, not sure, toyed with the idea of swapping it ages ago.  I have a double boiler set up and wax aready to go so I can pot pickups whenever I want, just takes a very long f**king time to do it right and careful monitoring of the temperature etc.

[rabidgerry]

Well i'm glad it does 

If I could I would nick the black flying V on you
the schenker one looks good too but I'm not into "artist" replicas.

what age is the Black flying v?  70's 80's??

[MarshallJMP]

The gibson is from 2000 so 15 years old.

that SL-1 on the right looks familiar 

[MarshallJMP]

yes it does 

[rnolan]

Very Nice MJMP. Now what to put in the space mmmm a Marshall  , my '72 50w would be just right though I'd put it middle bottom row and all the 2 input jack models on top. Have you ever tried plugging them all in at the same time (MJMPStock), one cab each  though I suspect the neighbors wouldn't be impressed  (personally I'd give a try though  )
A slightly less ear split option (if you haven't tried already): From the photo I'm guessing the 2 small writing Marshalls (2 x 2 inputs) you are using just power amp (bottom lead input jack wired direct to power amp stage) for L/R of your ADA rig/FX. So if you pick one of the other 3 heads and run it up through the centre cabs, using either A, B A+B switch or, just plug guitar straight into centre Marshall and use the parallel input jack over to you ADA rig... I've done this a few times, it works well IMO, you get the relativly straight (dry(ish)) sound of the Marshall down the centre combined with the lush stereo of ADA rig either side (obviously adjust levels to match), sounds great, but not soft LoL, anyway a thought.

[MarshallJMP]

Yep the old ones are used as poweramp,the JCM800 and the JMP in the middle are modified for more gain  each going to one cab.I like playing straight into a head some times,gives a different sound.The 2000 is stil stock but not for long
