Basic idea:


I love the desert/black combo, but it isn't set in stone yet. Tele bridge, obviously, and Tele neck pickup.

Also, one of these:


MIM Duo neck.

Cooterfinger is making the body. I have everything except the pickups and pickguard. Not sure what I'm going to do about the pickguard.

Electronics: I dunno. Thinking volume/tone/rotary, or volume/tone/output, or volume/volume/tone with a toggle or rotary switch on the pickguard, or volume/tone/output with a toggle or rotary switch on the pickguard.

So, yeah. Cooterfinger is waiting to get the wood delivered. I'm going to paint/assemble it over winter break (Dec 9 - Jan 4).

type "squier 51" into google.


my fucking blue one is still on the god damn first 10 or so photos !!!!!





who did i sell this thing too??? i know i used the maple neck for the squier esquier that is making the rounds in england right now!!!!!

Just checked their website and the wood was shipped. Expected delivery date 11-7-11.

Pickguard is not a problem. If you want to make your own pickguard I can draw you out a template once I get the scans from you.
I have the bridge plotted out to scale. Just need the neck heel and control plate.

Do you have a template for a Squier 51 pickguard already, or would you draw one based on the body? I'm having a hell of a time finding a template anywhere.

The Squier 51 Modders forum is stalwartly refusing to help me get one.

No template. Ends says he might have a 51 pickguard I could buy off him to make a template from. I need to check back with him and see if he found it.

Me: "I need a tracing."
Them: "No you don't."
Me: "No, really, it'd help me a lot."
Them: " "

Bunch of dicks.

Or just lazy, maybe.

Strong agreement. Fuck artificial wear.

i had robs old one, and the body went to finboy (i think?).

i have a pickguard, i'm quite certain. don't know if i still do or not. if i do granty, i'd be delighted to trace it for ya.

that relic'd blue one is hot as shit.

Thanks man. You are a Real Bro.

Guitars like that make me second-guess my boring-ass desert+black combo.

Relic'ing can still get tae.

Didn't see this post. If hotrod can't find his pickguard, could you make me a tracing of yours?

i was just thinking maybe i sent the guard with the body. sorry finboy, missed your post.

Turns out the Squier 51 modders just needed to be asked twice/thrice for things to get moving. Hooray!

i'll have to look around for it, all my guitar stuff is in the midst of being moved as the gf moved in
