Yeah, I would rock that for sure. Toronado bridge is excellent. Are you going to replace the tuners?

Padme has the most pickguard mounting screws of any robroe project guitar.

robroe · Post by **robroe** » Wed Jan 17, 2018 2:31 pm

the pizzastangmasterII has 11 not counting pickups. its got this extra little one right in the middle of the fucking thing under the strings for no fucking reason. I never put a screw into it. just a hole.

padme has 10.

if you count pickups padme has 14 and jagstang has 13.

They did that on old MMII/DuoII/Mustang guards because the top celluloid layer on tort guards warped more easily back then and they knew from single-ply Strat guards that this could cause the pickups to start sitting wonky. Itâ€™s not really necessary anymore but still part of the reissue templates, kinda like the hole for the mute on MIJ Jags. The Kurt Stangs and VM Squier Mustangs have it too.

You didn't notice robroe's obsession with Natalie Portman as Padme in Star Wars?
