Ice Blue Metallic

Thanks, I was aware of Faction's templates already. I'm taking the total DIY approach here, making my own templates from scratch. Usually I start out with a printable plan that I glue to MDF and then cut it out.

Started working on my own. Need to refine the headstock, as I'm using one from a Jaguar for now.

Anyone seen any anywhere? I'm looking for some downloadable PDFs if anyone knows where to find some. Gorgles isnt helping.

Would it be better if I solder the wire from the tremolo to where I ground the electronics instead of the copper tape?

Check out the Seymour Duncan SJAG. Jaguar pickup series. They come in 3 varieties...regular, hot, and quarter pounder. Reverse wound for him canceling when both on I've always wondered about that, how do you mount them to the pickguard? they dont have threads in the holes since they're meant to be ...

Do you have access to a scanner? If you can scan the pickguard alongside a ruler and email it to me I can see what I can do.

The easiest thing to do would be to attach your 25.5 scale neck to it then measure 25.5" from the nut to locate the new bridge. It should give you 3/4" as you've already concluded.

The big question I have is how much? Pretty sure I already know but I just want to be 100% sure. Since it's going from 24" scale to 25.5" (1.5" difference), I only need to move it back half that distance, correct? The neck length takes care of the other half? So I should only need to...

I was drawing up some plans for the Cyclone the other day and noticed that the bridge to neck pocket distance was the same on both it and the Mustang. I could be wrong, but I think the conversion scale is up from 24, not down from 25.5. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f239/Skunk24/shortscale/Untit...

Can I steal your Gulf comp color combo idea? I love it.

I came across a file that has pretty much all the Fender headstock shapes in it with all the details of tuner placement and shit, but oddly enough the file doesnt have a Mustang headstock in it. Even after googling I can see the Mustang headstock is a different shape than that of the Jaguar, which i...

I cut the butt on my template but I ended up not liking it. So I reverted to the big ass butt. I needed to make a new template because I felt it just looked wrong. does it have a standard jag horn? you may have to shorten that , too , if you cutttt that buttt.. Yes its a standard Jag horn. This is j...

Decided not to tame the butt. Just something about it.

Mock up:



Haven't completely decided on color either. I like the sonic blue w/ pearl guard but I feel like I would be using tort with another color...

Theres these guys...

Decided on this shape. Best compromise I find.

Brown tort would probably look better than red tort on a CAR guitar.

I'd stick with the Pearl personally, but if you don't like it it'll be hard to find a good pick guard color combo that goes well with CAR.

Oh no it wasn't an 80's one. Def a Chinese made one from these last few years. That's why I say it will need replacing at some point.

TBH, the Mustang theme is just going to be a hard tail bridge with different color variation on the comp stripes

No sense has been made this day.
