Dudes from the Squier 51 Modders forum are stepping up now, so I should be good to go.

Squier CV50 pickups are on the way, the hot Alnico III type.

I'm getting fucking giddy about this, no lie! Now to source paint.

Gonna go with a solid finish now. I really like that knot, but I'm not a fan of the white streak.

The white streak can be tinted to blend in better if you want to go with a see through finish.

Everything. They're beautiful platforms for all projects.

Maybe I should've started with one! Oh well.

This guitar is now going to be a baritone. Attempts at singing have revealed a serious lack of range.
