I have been holding off posting pictures of this until i get my body blank (hopefully 2 piece ash from robertOG)
However, i got bored today.

25.5 scale squier neck with grover tuners

Fender 50's strat pickup
string through body musicmaster saddle
500k or 250k pots suggestions?

[/img]

also cannot decide on pick guard design (again suggestions?)

for color Im thinking either white body with black PG or black with 3 ply BWB PG

250K
I'd go for the rounded 60s style PG - I've always thought the 70s one looked awkward. What about white with red tort or black with mint?

black with mint might be cool, my mustang is already white with red. but I'll probably try to sell this one anyway
to fund my future 12 string electric project, i still like how black on black 70's musicmasters look.

seriously considering mint though

my vote goes for rounded 60's PG, red tort on black.

... black witch hat knobs, en mesure du possible.

White, tort, rounded guard.

I have a similar idea for a Jag project:

whats the white stuff on the fretboard? *lolwut*

Hmm.. these images display funny...
from here, those guits look as though frets 14-16 are missing.

...like there some kind of homo, partially fretless jazz shit going on

for me it looks like the nut is gone and there is some random white stuff on the first? fret

the decal also seems to indicate this as being one of the elusive and much sought after fender "Jiggar" model.

Jigga What? Jigga Who?

Interesting looking project. Where did you get the bridge?

holyCATS1415 · Post by **holyCATS1415** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 2:52 am
