Johnny Ramone MKII Redesign

[motiersbad]

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

this is great!!! how does she sound? I wish mark II models were made with this option, I bet it would be a big seller for mosrite fans.

It changed from a treble&thin monster to a heavy nailgun ;D The Tone has so much Punch, that it nails down our bass player and so much energy that you hear every hit on the Strings with a very clear, but little overdrived tone that i must turn the Presence on my Amp down to 0 ! Actually i play in a Punk-Band and the Sound over my Marshall JMP 2203 is so awesome, lovely i would turn up all pots to 11 and blow everything away - The Pickups has so much "Room" like Humbuckers, you dont miss anything from a Les Paul or a Strat - All in the Mosrite and that was my goal

that's awesome, I'd love to hear your band. by the way, this one does go to eleven
