KING OF THE MODS
Maybe you’re lucky enough to have a bench in a shed, but more than likely when you want to set to work on your latest crazy modding project, like me, you clear the biggest table in your house, plug in the soldering iron and open your toolbox. The majority of the time, unless we’re perhaps swapping the body or neck of a bolt-on, we’re actually fine-tuning an already constructed guitar.
It might seem that Paul Reed Smith had sorted his construction by 1991 with the first Dragon guitar. This model introduced a shorter, fatter 22-fret neck and new-design Stoptail bridge, which led directly to the Custom 22 and, via the considerable input of David Grissom, the thicker-bodied, more vintage-aimed McCarty.
