p.s note the sperzel trim lok tuners won't look that big and goofy. I just did this on paint. but sperzel 6inl satin chrome trim loks do look cool.

Have to say I wuv my strat with sperzels. Must of had it near 17 years and they've never been anything but a pleasure to restring and tune with. It's neck and neck with with slot-head klusons for simplicity but the sperzels might just have it on for super lazyness and less turnings. Anything else I fucking HATE restringing even with a tuning tool. I really do.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm with poorhillbilly. He's been on the money since his first post. It's nice to see someone talking some blunt sense on this forum.

are you spastic by chance? special needs? Have you not come to the conclusion that this is a dirty cheap mexican blacktop? completely different guitars to American vintage reissues!

Its just microsoft paint! go and search for something else to critique! just fuckoff and go skiing you miserable cunt!


funnily enough Its the racist fuck Prince Phillips birthday today.



Yeah trim loks sound like the shit for that restringing factor, and just pure quality and affordability.

theres another pic, im not sure whether the guard would cover the tone vol plate, like it does on the Jazzmastervvvvvv. looks pretty sharp though. Id probably get white decals on the head too.

I could also get chrome washers like these too.

I'm more and more taken with the lines of the wigsby in a Jag shape - Definitely works nicer than a bigsby.

Also: James - OH YOU! This thread makes me lol every day.

Skiing? It's hot like hell here. Half if the year it's no sun and freezing your ass off. Rest of the year is mainly sunny and hot like this. I wish there was something inbetween, all the time. Most of my other countrymen disagree, thats why they go to australia to study/work/be assholes...

Yeah the bigsby b5 works well maybe with the telecaster, shecter ultras,

but the wigsby compliments the design of the Jag and Jazz. they both need their own special love and care. I'm glad of being some assistance as their is really limited information the Wigsby.

I'm just protecting my designs. I don't like listening to critisicm. I can do that well enough myself. I'm here to give ideas. not to fucking roam around giving my two cents and pop in a few ABRVs when ever i feel like it. Very sorry to offend anybody.

Anyway back to the guitar. The head job including the painting, tuners, decals are all possible i think

The body work attaching the white pickguard is definitly a good idea i think. i was even thinking about getting the chrome witches hats. still undecided

liking this work thoughVVV

"Your designs"?

Also, you've basically been walking around giving your two cents for ages now.

What are we up to? I haven't been keeping totally up to date with your collossal racist douchery; Trevor Wilkinson "escaped" the UK (for a few years before he moved back) because of the inability of everybody to get olympics tickets in 2011, the Irish Potato Famine of the 1800s and because Prince Phillip is racist. This is why the UK sucks, or something.

Right, got it.

Australia must totally suck then because you're a gigantic dickhole shooting an abhorrent mixture of piss, shit and jizz.

Right Gotcha.

I think you are fantasizing about all that piss, jizz and shit.

Uk just makes me wanna vomit.

Its like an ancient mouse corpse you find in a drawer thats rock solid and mummified.

That shit reeks and is not good for anybody's health.

NO. I HAVE NOTHING ON PRINCE PHILLIP. thats an A grade racist you are talking about.

so i can actually get the head finished, the top anyway. and the decals, easy, the sperzels they are allways on ebay.

What im, struggling with is the pickguard. I can either send my fucking excisting pickguard to California to Jeannies Pickguards, someone called Roger who is a chronic mispeller, but I don't really like the sound of that and that means i have to get it off and remove all the fucking shit i've already put on my guitar.

What the fuck is happening in the world, whats the pint of making pickguards if you don't have any excisting designs? its not like a tatoo artist. I just want a fucking White Fender Blacktop Jaguar HH pickguard. nothing fancy. Can't you just visit any music store and have a look at some guitars and 'think ''Oh thats how it looks right" or even contact actual musicians and techs dealers for pickguard designs.

If I had bought a pickguard and the tech could put it on and all the other stuff and i wouldn't have to get him to look at twice!

I could probably have cut you a pickguard for the cost of the materials, actually, I wouldn't have minded.

Funnily enough, I'm sort of reluctant now. Soz.
