it looks like it does.

plz explain.
fuckkiiiiinnnnn, look at me, my name's mo, and I once hacked up a mustang body in robert's work shop, and that qualifies me to go about the place, demanding answers as to what people's reasons are for putting their pickguard and control plate where they have.
damn straight.

but srsly. i deleted a part of that message before i posted. it went something like this: "i may be retarted or blind, probably both. but...<insert message here>"

it's always nice to see another duo sonic II coming into the world. it's pretty much one of the coolest guitars ever made and sadly out of production.

B-E-A-UTIFUL. Duo-Sonics kick ass; I'd be playing the hell out of mine if it intonated properly.

you just need some of those compensated saddles and it'll intonate perfectly, mine does.

its a similar bridge plate, but the saddles are almost mustang shaped. (emphasis on almost)

i made a template for the neck pocket.

reranch says the color is dakota red, it should darken a little when i clear coat it.
