I've always liked those VM teles. There ought to be more mini humbuckers in guitars.

The duncan designed minibucker is pretty lame, way muddy sounding even after trying to adjust it. I suspect one with the pole screws exposed and wound not so hot would sound better. The middle pickup is completely useless(half the output of the other pickups and sounds like a limp dick), and the bridge is a bit flat sounding for a tele pickup(probably just because it's a stacked noiseless design).

Might swap the pickups in it eventually, if I end up keeping it. I really just got it for school, which the dano will do perfectly well once it's playing.

Aye, I thought so when I tried one. I remember seeing those guitars and really liking the idea, but was totally underwhelmed playing one in real life.

What, the black one :roll:
The Duo is going off to lank tomorrow, resulting funds will to go AVRI pickups for my black jag. Then I'll basically have the Musicmaster, Tele, and Jaguar as my main guitars and the rest will stay in cases. Can't sell them because of sentimental value.

Sadie is still up for grabs :wink: I'd like to see her to a good home

oddly enough, for the last 3 nights, i've thought of ways to steal her from you.

breaking in, chloraform, and clever disguises were among the schemes.

I'm new on here, been on OSG for a while though. I like putting guitars together from parts, building pedals, amps, modding shit, etc. Figured a good first post would be of the family:

My family is now down to two electrics and an acoustic, but I think it's a pretty good family. :D I just completed the refinish job on my 1966 Jazzmaster. It had a horrible old natural refinish job when I bought it, so I decided to give it a Shoreline Gold makeover. Here it is with my '65 Jaguar.
