Paint is done! Custom shielding plates Cooter made are in. Sticking with the squier Venus pickups for now. Maybe I’ll get some novaks down the line. Still need to get some pickguard screws, selector knob and wire it up but it’s almost done. Stoked to finally have a matching Maverick and Xii after 10...

Long time no update huh?

Just realized I never posted the finished result of this.

If I still had it haha. It's long gone. I don't even remember who I sold it to.

When did this get renamed to "Blaze it" lol?

Wait, this is the two point oh update?

You have a hardtail trem plate on it and you'll be drilling holes in the body. I know it's a rough body but it's still vintage and the mods to...

Body wasn't refinished. Original Dakota Red. Body and bridge are worth around $300 together.

Just got a message from the seller. They had the guitar listed on eBay as well. Apparently it sold on there too. They refunded me my money in full but I'm still super bummed about it. I was looking forward to this project. Bad business on their end.. "Capitol Guitars" Mineapollis, MN.

I was searching through musicmasters on Reverb and this "partsmaster" popped up with a buy it now for $200. Here was the description.. "For your consideration is an interesting and unique axe. We have dubbed this the Partsmaster. The guitar shows some signs of use, but is a true playe...

He's actually a better player than me haha. He's just never had this small of a scale guitar before. And I never thought the strings I had on it were big enough of a gauge.

Need a cheap and simple solution for vintage fender witch hat knobs? I found these knobs on ebay for only $10 for 4. They feature the numbers in the same direction as the originals except they have lines under them and a 0. So, i took a black paint marker and bam. Vintage looking knobs. http://farm6...

Who painted it?

Astrophotography is so easy these days. Love it.

Didn't get to it yet. It's on the back burner. This spring I will.

How many jagstangs do you need? Lol. I would at least change it up more.

Body arrived a few days ago. LOVE IT. Vintage checking to die for. I also picked up a vintage set of shielding plates. Anddddddd I found a neck. It is a 1966 A width 22.5" Musicmaster II neck. It's amazing. Similar checking and yellowing to the body and worn logo with the gold missing. I am lov...

Well, it was mine but I traded it with him. I don't really like the whole one tuning per guitar thing anyway.

I love fender bullets. I don't understand why more people don't use them. I also really like a small brand my local shop has. "Curt Mangan"

Isn't that the 'reason' for more guitars? Alt tunings and shit like that.

This guitar is gonna be my friends main guitar and only electric. Why get another guitar just to leave this in G tuning? Lol
