Needing some mods to Jem project

screamndemon69 · #1 10-12-2003, 08:45 PM

I have a mahogany Jem that is set up for an edge trem, has two hum routes, no mid route, monkey grip, Jem angled jack, a micro switch hole, two pot holes for volume and tone and an AANJ. I would like to get a mid pup route, 5-way switch cut out, micro-switch hole filled and have a clear pickguard fitted. I want to put a tele neck pup in the mid position -mostly for looks -but I'm told it would probably sound really nice as well.
I am guessing that I should contact Herc Fede since he has the clear guards (or makes them) so I can have the routes and holes fitted to the pickguard.
I have tried to contact him via his website and to no avail.

Any help contacting him would be appreciated.

I just checked EKG's prices and they charge $75

for a clear guard as opposed to $45 thru Herc Fede. I could have that company in the UK custom build me a chrome guard for that price.
I might have to go that route (EKG) as I know when you want something done right...get it done by the right person

Indeed,truer words are rarely ever said,Althou i have never Used Eddie or Jeremy yet,I think you would struggle to find fault with any of there work,Or indeed find someone who had bad jobs done

I honestly get the impression that they "love" doing the job they do,The fact they get paid for it is a bonus,I'm hopeing one day i'll get to that level myself,Once i do i'll have a funky ass banner too :-)

Gimme a shout if you need anymore help

Thanks Rob!
I always believed the quote from Ted Nugent, "I don't mind working all day when my work is all play!!".

I live by that myself- this past year I have gotten to the point ALL my $ comes from guitars in one way or another. I teach lessons to over 27 students a week, work at a local music store selling guitars/P.A./drums/ect., and gig out with a duo act.

What a great feeling for a guy that only has 2 years of school (post high school) under his belt.
I feel that if you can make a living doing what you love - YOU WIN!!!
