What neck does he want on it? Doesn't a Super Sonic already have a Fender neck?

On the humbuckers I just took out of the Jagmaster white was the one that went to the switch.
You've got a 50/50 chance.

I just spray painted the outer edge of my truck rims green so that I'll get better gas milage.
You'll also need to paint flames on it too. It'll go faster. |

I'm currently sold on JJ's.
No regrets with either recent retubes for the Supro or the Traynor.
