nice

What I'm currently playing on lots....

My new Telecaster and trusty Strat, now set up with floating tremolo that actually works!

Quick snap of the guitars in my living room.
l-r: Squier CV 50s strat, Musima Elgita, Tele thinline, AV Jazzmaster

I got Purple Rain LP for my birthday. Man I love that record.

^That makes me want a black Jazzmaster BADLY....

Love that Musima...

i decided to do an cheap refin on my jagmaster, and since it is currently rocking a squier tele neck it goes here

but i call it the ghost jagmaster.. (due to the maple neck)

Looks great.

Anything is better then the scumburst they come in
And I love the tone out of the bridge pup (it came from you)
In the neck pup is a bullet strat neck pup with an robroe cover

Ah cool - I did wonder if it was one of my old pickups, glad you're liking it!

that tele looks great, man.

Jagbastard in progress.
An XavierXV JT90 in Surf Green with a Squier tele thinline neck. The neck is a conversion neck, so the guitar now is a 24.75" scale machine. Pulled out the mini-humbucker and will be making an Esquire-like black pickguard for it. And will remove the knobs and switch and hook the pickup straight to the jack (using a tele control plate with no holes). Well, I probably will put a momentary switch in there.
Guitar was $194, neck was $149.

I love my a good ole' jazzcaster mut.


But why not put a volume and tone. Even if they're always at 10 you may want to roll back the tone every once in awhile. I mean especially with one pickup.

The thing that I like about an Esquire is the cockiness of only needing one pickup. The logical extension of this is to remove the knobs / pots and switches. Stripped-down hot rod with straight pipes. I did the same with a Squier tele thinline two years ago, and it still makes me so happy every time I hear it bark.
I also have a black Super-Sonic set up like an Esquire with no knobs, but with a three way tele switch with single, hum, and off as the settings. And I'm building a coral Super-Sonic / telecaster hybrid with a tele bridge, an SD BG1400 pickup, and a four-way tele switch with volume and tone (one of which is a push / pull to split the stacked humbucker). So that one will have eight tones from one pickup.
So, I change it up.

This was put together when I was still posting regularly so I thought it was only fair you guys get to see pics (of her latest/last) incarnation before she gets sold:
Do you guys still call it an Icey bomb?

I really hate pickup rings on a pickguard, but that looks kind of cool with it.

I thought the same. I usually hate that but it works really well on that Tele.

Just too amazing. I guess that makes you a corksniffer now

although I hate the headstocks they decided to put on Teles that guitar is doin some work.

Rob I looked high and low for when you first posted that guitar. It's so f'n beautiful. Perfect in fact.

I'm happy it found a good home instead of being auctioned off to a bunch of vultures!
