It should be known that I am incapable of leaving well enough alone.

Well it started off as a $70 '51 off of craigslist...



and has become this beast...





yes there are white dots to mark pickup selection as well as a white dot to mark volume level.

It has a Lace Chrome Dome neck and a splittable GFS high output in the bridge. Chicken head pickup selector and retro amp style volume knob... Oh and GFS Deluxe '51 Pickguard.

Yes she sounds great, that chrome dome may be the nicest single coil I've ever heard. So the question is what do I call her?

pfft, naming guitars. mine are called jaguar. mustang, jazzmaster and artcore. i do however have an acoustic named "shite".

looks very nice anyhow, i love all black guitars with maple necks and the all chrome look going on with the pickups is nice. have you wired up the HB for splitting?

the only mic I have is my computer mic. Between that and my shitty playing any pickup would sound like crap. I need to get myself a demo mic.

That looks a million times better than it did before. Stock 51s look like they were designed by an autistic chimp.

I really like the pickguard, the stock one looks a bit poor with those round cutouts in front of the bridge.

Yeah, while appreciate them trying to make a unique looking guitar, the 51 really just looks a mess.
I reeeeeeaaaaaly like mine now though.
