So this thing has a sonic blue warmoth alder hardtail string thru body with contoured heel, carvin neck with the ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets, gotoh tuners.
I just got the allpartsjapan JEL replica bridge installed and made some adjustments.
With the black pickguard it's got a Gibson T-Top in the neck and a Seymour Duncan PATB1 in the bridge with a 3 way switch.
I'm thinking of putting on the jake pearloid pickguard with some Dimarzio VV Solo pickups- I would put on SDS-1s but I can't stand 60cycle hum in my guitars at all. Other things I'm thinking about, I have some graphtech stringsaver saddles laying around that will fit and also an extra set of black shaller locking tuners- I dunno I like the looks of the Gotohs though and the shaller locking tuners are HEAVY- they kinda weigh down the headstock.
I might actually just keep the HH setup with a 3 way switch instead of the HSS setup with a 5 way just because it's simpler and less things to think about etc... Besides with Jake doing Ozzy stuff, I doubt he ever used position 2 and 4 that much in any of the Ozzy work- it seemed to be either bridge JB or a neck SDS1 sound to me- I dunno- What do you guys think of my geeetarr? Comments.

Lovely Daphne Blue!

Looks great. My preference would be the SSH setup, but your call, either way it looks awesome.

That is beautiful. I have Gotoh tuners on a couple of my guitars and i tell you, one set is at least 25+ years old and they are by far the best set of tuners ive ever seen. They are just brilliant!

Well made quality JEL Guitar design/it's quite stunning: with it's glossy finish. And yeah my 1st thoughts were it's lovly where are the guitar strings that must go with it. Even though it is known & I've seen stringless guitars that had some type of hi-fi motion lights on them which is pretty alright but obviously the power of the guitar strings is a must!
Anyway, that's real solid cool Jake E. Lee guitar model: and once you get your strings I'm sure it will bring you much heavy enjoyment.
Peace!
