@VoodooChild501

I just posted another of the same type of thing doing a Gibson ES 165

Dude - that sounded great - I loved the P90 in the neck - hope it sounds as good at the bridge - it takes confidence to start cutting holes in your new guitar - seriously great tone - what stomp where you using for your drive tone towards the end of the clip if you dont mind me asking? Thanks for a great video S.P. from the UK.

@slugpumper1 That was a demo of a little Vox amp that I sold. Plugged straight in. Footswitch was clean / drive, then had to manually push a button on the amp for drive 2. The pickup was actually a bridge pickup, so now everything is where it's supposed to be.... and I haven't had the urge to change it again... which is rare. I like this guitar the best out of my 3 main ones: Gretsch Setzer Hot Rod, Gretsch Pro Jet (which has also undergone a multitude of changes, and this Highway 1 Teli.

Quality vid mate, loved how you spliced how you put that p90 in with the demo of the pickups

[MrWiggerdale123]

Hey, I have a Tele made by Cruiser (by Crafter) so a pretty cheap guitar. My band plays really heavy music and instead of buying a 7-string I was wondering whether it would be worth buying a Piledriver to put in the bridge and then drop tuning. Would it sound ok? Also, amp-wise I have a Whitehorse 120w amp but no pedals or anything.

Man, absolutely amazing sweet tone from both those badboys. I'm gonna do the exact same mod with my tele...Thanks for sharing the vibe.

[BricksJamRoom]

@lamf37 Have already changed it up yet again... It turns out that the Mississippi Queen was a bridge pickup. Now the Tele sports a Texas Special in the neck, a Tex Mex in the middle and the MQ in the bridge. She now has "Nashville" 5 way switching and a different (6 saddle) bridge to accommodate the humbucker sized P90.

Well done

[appluntu]

It's interesting. You must have good knowledge of guitar.

[BricksJamRoom]

@appluntu Just be willing to do take a chance! but watch your fingers!

[kleydj13]

Awesome! Love that tele and a P90 in the neck, just fantastic!

[BricksJamRoom]

@kleydj13 Lots of trial and error over the years... don't be afraid of taking risks.... (unless it involves losing a finger or two)

[gishuk]

jesus dude i was wincing watching you rout the pickguard like that, sounds great though

[BricksJamRoom]

@gishuk Aaahhh..! Pickguards are cheap enough if I screwed it up.... but I guess I didn't consider how my playing would change with a missing finger or two though.

[itsonlyrcknroll]

@BricksJamRoom Never mind losing a finger, you've got 10 of those...putting a router between your thighs, well that's just a little too close to you know what, and you've only got one of those. Great job though, love the sound.

[spudvader86]

that was some badass routing of the scratchguard

[MrAtrocity]

That's a really nice job you've done there. I like the neatness of not having the height adjustment screws of the Mississippi Queen visible on the scratch plate - I chickened out of that as I thought I'd want to adjust the height quite a bit. Looks good and sounds great. Really nice playing too.

[FlipGordon]

I probably will post a video of the guitar

[FlipGordon]

sweet video man , Im making a custom guitar im using the bare knuckle nailbomb and the Mississippi queen .

[BricksJamRoom]

@FlipGordon Let me know if you post something when you're done. I'd like to see / hear the nailbomb. I love the MQ.

[SlavaGen]

Love Knuckles! As I understand it's MQ all the time with pilldriver on backing track?

[brickak14]

@SlavaGen Yea, couldn't resist. That clip was originally demo-ing the amp.

[MrAtrocity]

Thanks for sharing your project. The finished result sounds fantastic and the playing's great too.

[Bluesboyfella]

sweet tone!
