Got bored today and decided to restore my old Kaman GTX 23. It's in a really bad shape.
It's even got some psychedelic wallpaper glued on the body as a "finish"  But thats a whole other story.Anyhuu, after i had desoldered the pickups i noticed that the bridge humbucker was actually a DiMarzio DP156 Humbucker from Hell! Forgot all about even upgrading that old guitar  Must have been in 1994 or something.Going to test that one on my Ibanez instead. It's in desperate need of a better neck pickup. Not sure why it was in the bridge position.. it's pimarily recommended as a neck pup. No wonder that guitar sounded like a treble-monster.

I'll put up some pics of it after work
Actually, the neck feels very comfortable so i'm considering buying a new bridge, nut, tuners and some cheap pickups. But thats for another thread

Audiopaals reply is 100% correct.
A friend borrowed it and had some fun with it, and he wrote "da trout", which i have no clue what means And here it is! (I've removed the bridge, pickups, knobs and cotton wool string) Sorry for the bad quality, the cam on my phone is terrible!

I'm thinking fish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trout ...but that's just what it means in English. That looks like a fun guitar to play around with, just needs some poly to preserve the artwork! -------------------- ::jafomatic
