'stiff' as you put is usually found with the better quality pots.

Dope.

Best bit from the demo "As you can see the cij single coils bring the rock...I should have played something good after saying that."

wow that finish looks way better than i thought, i honestly assumed it would be a flop but you've really outdid yourself make

Better light today but still raining so no outside unfortunately.

I did the decals. I know it's not a Mustang but more a Duo-Sonic but:

a) I like Mustang decals
b) I had a Mustang decal
c) Suck my balls

I think I did alright considering the last time I did this was on an Airfix model Spitfire I had to condemn to a "Dogfight victim" with cotton wool and black paint because I fucked it up so much. Hyperactive kids are not good model markers.

OK, I changed my mind about which of your guitars I'd steal. But of course I wouldn't live to enjoy it for long.

Nice work, Mike & Mike's Dad (and of course RobOG). Very nice work. Re. the pots, can't you get some washers to bring the CTS pots down? Or drill pot-clearance holes in a scrap of aluminium sheet?

It's perfect. I wish I had a duo II. The no-nonsense rhythm-stang.

Yes! It's done!
Excellent guitar - the Toronado bridge is a brilliant idea. Looks great, sounds great.

btw,
In the first demo, what song are you playing at 2:26?

roofiez · Post by **roofiez** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 3:17 am

does the toronado bridge affects sound in any way?

Post by **Mike** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 8:17 am

yeah it keeps the strings from flapping about against the pickups.

This guitar looks awesome. Good call with the Toronado bridge, I'll have to keep that one in mind.
