Here’s some before, after, and during pictures of this Jackson V I modded a few months ago.
Picked it up cheap from a pawn shop in Elizabeth City, NC. It was originally painted blue (I assume by the previous onwer) and I sanded the paint off and stained it. Unwired the pickups and installed a Dimarzio FRED in the bridge position and a Dimarzio Super 2 in the neck position. Installed 2 toggle switches wired to the their own pickup for Series/Parallel wiring options. Also there was a big crack in the neck and I fixed that with some wood glue now’s it’s good as new. I really like how it turned out and I think it looks rustic af. Tuned to D# (half step down) D#G#C#F#A#D#
