ESP Hybrid II Pickguard
ESP Hybrid II Pickguard
Anyone have any experience with the early 90's Hybrid II's? I'm mostly looking for a pickguard without the neck pickup hole. I knew some were made without neck pickups but if someone had a Hybrid II and could trace the pickguard I'd make my own.
I had another Hybrid II but sold it before getting this one. This was someone's project guitar and I don't believe the neck was shimed correctly. A tele pickup always hits the strings unless you raise the action really high. Thing is it does play good as is and having a neck pickup isn't worth the trouble of re-shimming the neck. I've seen some ltd pickguards but my understanding is they're a little different than the original 90's ESP pg's.
It is an artist. 1980 AR50. No longer own it but the pic was handy. Still have 2 other artist models.
On the hybrid their is not a lot to work with adjustment wise because of the way the neck is cut out for the pickup. I never could get mine how I wanted it. Sold it. Kinda wished I had not. i liked how it sounded. To late now. maybe buy another one someday. I have a 1976 ibanez 2617 similar headstock but with script logo.
Sorry dont have my hybrid any more. Otherwise i would do that. Whats your avatar. Looks like an artist headstock.
