you started paint before you routed and fitted all the parts? in my own experience this is a horrid idea. tho i only did it once with the first guitar i built in indiana, so it was a trial and error peice anyway. Yeah, always have a habit of doing that because I can never choose what pickups etc I ...

Sorry for the lack of updates, but recently I started to paint it, picked red ( I don't know why I just liked it LOL) Here are some pictures: http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w582/GHOSTLYxSTRAT/Guitars/DSCF0486_zps5771801a.jpg http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w582/GHOSTLYxSTRAT/Guitars/DSCF048...

Looks cool!!! imo I think it would look even better with a 3 ply black pickguard with the rhythm circuit with white pickup covers,knobs etc.... but hey thats just me and it still looks great as it is.

Another rough setup with 3 angled pickups (will be ordering the actual pickups very soon).I was also thinking of ordering 3 of those on off switches, so you could have more pickup options.

100% sure it's not basswood I've sanded back many basswood guitars such as Ibanez, A squier VM Mustang and jazzmaster even a bullet strat all were quite light soft wood and had almost no grain.

My mate and I have been working on his bass it's an Indonesian 2008 squier affinity jazz bass. We were getting it ready for paint etc... we noticed how hard and heavy this bass is compared to other squier affinity jazz basses, and appears to have flaming in the grain? so is it maple??? or do you guy...

Installed The mustang trem, and bridge also filled some small dents on the body it's now ready for a final sanding and then paint!!!

thanks ,I know mustang is usually 24'' but I mean could I change its neck to a fender st neck? r they fit for each other? If you wanted to put a strat neck on you would need to move the bridge back also other wise you will run into problems such as the intonation, and you might need to modify the h...

my old man just hand carved the shape by hand, done with A labour of love

hahaha cool! thats a bit different lol.

Joey wrote:Put the jack on the side or guard

Hmmm I was thinking about it but i've always liked the strats jack

James wrote:Is it fully or semi hollow?

It's fully hollow (apart from where the neck sits )

originals look better imo

Love the look of those pickups!!

wow. that looks pretty damn cool. i like what you did with the pick guard.

dig it.

Thanks, was trying to go for a half mustang half strat pickguard so if I wanted I could put mustangs switches and/or a strat switch

Yeah was thinking about putting binding on

That looks so nice!!! especially with that pickguard.

Hello everybody!!!! been busy working on many guitar projects. Here is one: http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w582/GHOSTLYxSTRAT/Guitars/DSCF0393_zps3579a12b.jpg some of you might have seen it before we are working on a neck for it and building our own bridge for it etc... But have decided to ask ...

I don't mind the humbuckers and the 3 way switch but personally don't like the fact it doesn't have that weird trem lol actually like mustang trems thats one of the things I really liked about my mustang
