Reader Hot Rod Guitars 2012, Part 1
Thomas Fleming
Thomas Fleming's hot rod started its life as a Profile brand Jackson copy from the ’80s (left) with an H-S-S configuration and three mini switches for each pickup, plus one volume and one tone. He filled in the single-coils, replaced the locking tremolo with a vintage style, removed the mini switches and tone knob, and domed the volume pot. "Now it's a beautiful alpine white shredder," Fleming says.
