After M1 now it’s my Turn to build my very first custom guitar!!! After playing Ah Suan’s blackie and Mike’s M1… truely exprience with single coil’s TONE… My mouth full of water after playing on both either Blackies or M1…..EvenI am poor now but still cannot stand those “kingman’s TONE”….so decided have to save up money and go for it…I know it gonna costs me some pains in my wallet but still go for it….And I am a die-hard hambackerz fans still go for single coil becoz’ cannot resists the TONE from those single coils’..
My ibanez can be said its custom guitar but this time its way beyond customize; I will build my very own with very first my own spec guitar right after Mike done his. I bought in a Fender Strat(Mexico), change everything except the wood(Neck and Body) and meachine heads… now I got the guitar with me but still have to wait to save up money for other gears.
stay tune… will update the pictures and posting here…
rockon!

good move Beh Beh, you know how long did i stuck with humbuckers right? more than 10 years.
http://www.uglymen.net/2007/02/14/my-guitar-dilemma/
Single coil are too good to resist… now i have totally lost interest in humbuckers as they produce mostly muds and noise in live shows, after witnessing all the bands in recent Asian Beats Competition and Taiwan Spring Scream, off all the bands we watch in Taiwan, only China Blue’s Fender was audible, else… sorry la. As i listen more and learn more down the road, i came to realise there is no use to use humbuckers if u do NOT have the RIGHT tools.
Humbuckers have good screaming warm tones and hum-cancelling effects only if you have the right equipments (oh, did I mention HOW WELL THE KINMAN’S ARE? they are the best i’ve used) . The right equipment: We dont go on stage with 4×12 cabinates, or like most rockers, Marshall full stacks. The most we can afford is to get a POD or some amp simulators to mimic the warm tone, which sadly, in most of the cases…. failed terribly.
Ok, happy for you finally the Fender deal done! He was a nice guy isnt he? =)
looking forward to your eh… what? B1?
