changing electronics in that should be well easy, pretty sure the jb jr will just be a straight switch

Mustang-Pete

Yeah it should just be a straight switch. Those are real nice guitars, the Omar signature models.

yea it is a good guitar but the pickup is such ####, i cant stand the sound unless i start to push the tubes and use layers of distortion. yes i am an omar freak that's why i am putting in a JB. jr becasue that's what he use's 😆

this is his old guitar now he plays his signature guitar 😆 but most of the time he plays a white one that you cant buy.

i just remembered that that dose not answer the question Omar Alfredo Rodriguez-Lopez he played guitar for at the drive-in and now 'the mars volta's' main man

Oh ok, I know who that is, I just didn't know his name.

Mustang-Pete

YEAH! So I take it you like the Mars Volta too? as much as me? 😛 I'm a huuuuge fan.

foxyloxy

you could say that ***cough*** (*met cedric*) yes i am like most volta fans very VERY into them.

Mustang-Pete

Oooof.... you met Cedric!?!! Lucky little......

Thats awesome though. I don't often meet many people that are into the Volta. Favourite album? I know this is off topic, so I'll ask a relevant question too.

Have you put the JB in yet? If so, how does it sound?

my dad is giving me the pickup for Christmas. the best TMV album would be 'Francis the mute' but only becasue it meshes so well, but it is hard to compare.

Mustang-Pete

Cool.

Frances The Mute is definately my favourite. It's just such an amazing album as a whole. In my opinion, one of the best albums ever!
