Introducing my first parts-guitar, Drifter!
This is my first single pickup guitar too. Was scrolling through Reverb's b-stock guitar listings in late 2020 for maybe an LPj-style to mod, and discovered a pre-production prototype for a guitar called a 'Breed Thirty' from Konoykheen guitars.. I loved it mainly for the body shape and that it's a single-pup fiddle, and I immediately wanted it for a mod platform instead of a LPj.
Nearly in its final form now, the only original parts on it are the cover for the control cavity, the neck plate, rear string-ferrules, pickguard, jack-plate, and the body/binding/paint. I also took the serial-number sticker off the original neck and glued it to the inside of the control cavity cover.
Original:
-Kononykheen Breed Thirty [no longer in production]
List of mods:
-Mix of gold and black hardware
-Indian Rosewood neck from Warmoth, handpicked Pau Ferro fretboard
-25.5" / 21 ss frets / 12" straight radius / MoP side dots / black corian sharkfin inlays / 59 roundback neck shape
-Hipshot staggered tuners - still needed a 7mm string tree for the tiniest bit of extra downward pressure to keep the low E from bouncing out of the nut slot when rocking-out too hard
-Black-stained the topside of headstock [might sand it just a tiny bit] / smokey-stained the backside of the headstock / kept the neck bare
-Used the cut-out on the back of the neck to stain a blood-stripe on it for my recently-passed dog/best friend of 9 years
-SS zero-fret installation with nut; first zero-fret ever
-Locking roller-saddle TOM to match the smooth rounded metal breakpoint of the zero-fret
-Pure-tone 4-contact output jack
-Bourns 10a500k vol / 10a250k tone with orange cap
-Bareknuckles Pickups: 'Stockholm' humbucker-sized P90 bridge
ROCK ON \m/
