Johnny Ramone MKII Redesign
Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2012 11:32 am
Hello everybody,
i just redesigned my Johnny Ramones Signature Model. When i buyed in 2005 or 2006, it had the Stock Pickups with a Dimarzio FS1 in the Bridge and a Seymour Duncan Mini Humbucker in the Neck (Picture). Later (2009 i think) i changed the Pickups to Seymour Duncan Humbuckers (Picture).
So now, i wanted a new design and new Pickup Experiments, so i bought Ed Elliot Pickups and changed some things on the Chick like:
- New (Mosrite correct) Wiring (DONT LOOK TO CLOSE ON IT, IM NOT A GOOD SOLDER
)
- Orange Drop 47nF (sounds very dark)
- reshaped the Pickguard that it looks closer to the original and painted the sites from 3ply to 1ply Black
- new Switch
- added The Ventures II Model Decal to the Headstock (Decal selfbuild)
- On the Pic are missing the new Mosrite Style knobs that i will receive from bob in the next days or weeks
But okay, here the Pics
It looks great with the new Pickups and it sounds Killer over my Marshall JMP 2203 






Best regards
Phil
