Dom's Rambles

As I tend to play almost exclusively on my Les Paul these days, my old Jackson Performer has been gathering dust for quite some time. Last week I decided to give the thing a new lease of life by converting it to a single pickup, single volume control axe and giving it a new paintjob - the intended end result being a guitar pretty similar to the BC Rich Gunslinger (I might even go for that same lurid shade of yellow).

The first part of the task was to disassemble the guitar and strip the original paintwork down to the wood. The next, which I'll be starting on this weekend, is to fill the holes left by the removal of the middle and neck pickups as well as those formerly occupied by the selector switch and tone control.
