i am not much fan of mint
seriously considering the cream pearloid.

major problemn i dunno who can made it for me.
surf one was Aug did , someone here do pickguards?

New pickups , major reason i wish it more surf visual :

Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 H73 GFS Pro-Tube Lipstick Humbucker Pickup- Cool Chimey Tone! Bridge Position $39.95
Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 F14 Push-Pull DPDT Pot- 500K Audio- Genuine Alpha Quality $8.79
Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 F35 Sprague Orange Drop Tone Caps- .022uf for Les Paul $3.95

Since Scubagduncan greedy bastard dont want do dual Lipsticks , i went to GFS

Lipsticks uses .22 or .3 Caps , so i got .22 from my favorite brand , Spag
.500k on GFS store was no brand , above i saw alphas , obvious i went to Alpha..

Why its called Surf Stang.
Obviosly its an mix of Jackson Surf and Fender jag-stang :

Jackson Surfcaster Sc-3

+
Fender Jag-stang

=

Surf-Stang

Make sure you get all your plastics in mint if you put a mint guard on it. Vintage cream or white pickup covers/switches/knobs mixed in with mintguard looks terrible.

ICEY! I'm about to order a Mint JS guard modded for lipstick GFS pups (got mine through). They charge 15 pounds less for a second one as they have the template already. SO if you want a mint guard with lipstick routes we I can order 2 and split the cost?

Total cost for 2 guards would be Â£83 so Â£41.50 each. I know this doesn't cover the bridge gap but I've measured the lipsticks and done my best to create a route template - might need a little sanding out on the final product but not much. Take a look and let me know if you want in on this. Only extra cost would be the postage from me to you. No worries if not good for you but let me know as I want to get this ordered as soon as possible!

CRAP I FORGOT YOUR BRIDGE PUP IS STRAIGHT! IGNORE ME ICE-MAN!
