well hello there, I have not long finished modding my guitar again (adding more LEDs) and thought I'd share the pics! Looks really good at night but it's midday so no dark pics yet!

I backlit the Floyd Rose and drilled a hole to add a proper switch (you can see it beside the knobs)... enjoy!

Off...

On... Right is photochopped for massive damage!!11

AWESOME!!!! I am soo doing that on my other guitar... didn't think of having them point to the body!!

Also if I'm brave enough I might try the Fretboard LEDs although that is some really tricky stuff to do!

I dunno if that question was at me but not - the only pickup I sacrificed for my mod was the single coil... i didn't use it much...

I used the hollow single coil cover to put the pup LEDs in... the other 2 pups work as normal...

There's an awesome tutorial on Project Guitar for necks but I don't have any of the tools needed for the job (clamps, etc...)

lol well I bought this guitar a while ago and it came set up like that from Japan (its a prestige so made in japan..).. the intonation was perfect! I did a set up about 6 months ago and double checked it again... still perfect!

It does look quite strange I know but somehow it's right lol!

You could get them pretty cheap from any hobbyist shop probably, do you have any friends' dads with some? lol

I'll give it a try one day... I think next summer I will be building an Ibanez style guitar so I will probably do it then!
