So did you actually play the guitar before you ripped it to pieces?

....please don't tell me you are going to put a fender logo on the headstock?

Yep, then he's going to try to pass it off as a vintage one on Teh Eebayz....

Damn.... you figured me out!

looking pretty cool, I have to admit.....the tuners are a nice touch.

Not sure where he got his, but there is this one guy on ebay that will stamp whatever numbers you want on a neck plate.

he stenciled that shit in with his dick

Is it that easy?

Pseudo Caps, are we really talking about pseudo capacitors??????

Also all brand snobbiness and historical accuracy aside, the Squier logo fills out the headstock way better than the mid-job Fender decal that's just floating in the middle of the headstock with too much negative space.

I know rite.

Oh my gosh no.

As someone who.. dabbles with electronics I find it all a bit.

No.

Branding something as something it ain't is not cool. Pseudo acoustic and electronic benefits of making something look better than it is makes me ill.

It's like taking a cute button nosed girl and turning her into Jodie Marsh' twin.

Ok, don't do yours like this then. I thought it was a fun way to spend a rainy day... and pretty much the whole reason I bought this in the first place.

As for the logo floating in the middle.... blame that on Leo.

I like it. It's tasteful and subtley done, and the neck tint is a great improvement.

Out of interest, have you got a photo of the stock tuners?

I suppose stuff like this is fun to do, and it is your guitar to do as you please and looks like you done an ace job on it, but it's the underlying corksniffery that I find unnecessary and a bit sad. I think it's a "cool" enough guitar as it is stock. Horses for courses, though.

fullerplast wrote:I plan to keep the stock pickups.

so what's the point in replacing the pots and capacitor?

imho, replace stock parts for *better quality* ones if they a) are likely to break after 3 months of gigging, b) have broken after 3 years of gigging, or c) add some massive new functional or tonal difference.

pickups - probably. toggle switch - yes. pots - unlikely unless they crap out, and would then be CTS replaced since it saves me replacing them again in the long run. replacing the logo? unless all of the parts are replaced by ones from a different manufacturer (genuine fender, warmoth or similar), it's still a squier...
