When I was amp shopping I had considered getting a Mesa 5:25 but the price was a little too high for my tastes. Then I found this for under $500. :D Seems like a good option. I can run it through one of my clean amps. More pics when it arrives. http://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3871/33024500701_b7ac990b8...

My monster hands like it. My first guitar was a Peavey Patriot that had a flat fretboard so that is probably why I like it. ;D

You can see the stain better when it is next to white.

Neck is done. Just waiting for the tuners and string tree to arrive. I also picked up my other parts. Just waiting on a quote for a new pickguard. That will probably be what takes the longest for this to be done. :) http://c1.staticflickr.com/1/740/32746668430_8b79f50590.jpg 20170226_072912 by Chris...

So is he just using the Boogie for the EQ? It didn't look like there was much else going on there.

Those look pretty cool. Do they just stay on the pickup with pressure?

It was asked on another forum, so I checked. The guard matches AVRI almost exactly. Here it is on one of the templates I bought for a Jazzmaster. Only thing that is off is the toggle hole slightly. http://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2887/32247012903_ebf73b6d17.jpg 2017-02-22_06-04-02 by Christopher Louck ...

I also ordered these tuners. Anyone know for sure if they are a straight swap for the normal Squier ones? They look like they would be the same. http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts/Tuning_Machines/Solid_Peghead_Guitar_Tuning_Machines/Gotoh_Oval_Knob_6-In-Line_Tuners.html http://reverb-res.clou...

Got the guitar taken apart. (I want to get a white pickguard made.) I also wanted to stain the neck so it was less pale. Here are pictures. I know some people wanted more gut shots.

Nice! I like the neck on mine. I will likely just stain it and put some tung oil on it.

I don't get why people are upset I sold my hi-flier. I still have my custom one and I like it enough I don't feel like I needed the Univox one. I still have the Univox Les Paul style one with the exact same pickups the hi-flier had. :? :? :? http://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3943/15597190796_2c77e61235.j...

Dude we need to stage an intervention. You sold a hiflier for six hundry and bought this piece of crap for 2 hundry? You have to stop buying these landfill guitars. Consolidate man. I sold four guitars, so I am consolidating. I didn't sell the hi-flier to get this guitar. I sold the four guitars to...

No, but with a swimming pool rout and thinner body, probably less than a normal Jazzy.

Thanks! I am waiting to hear back from the guy on pickguard costs. Can't wait to get the guard off and get better looks at the inside.

Some more info on at least this one. The pots feel nice and solid, not sloppy or loose like I expected. The toggle has no static between switching which I figured it might with a $200 guitar. The fret ends are nice and free of sharp ends. There doesn't seem to be any issue with frets being level. Wi...

By the way, it is less bassy than my phone makes it sound. It is just a cell microphone. It sounds beautiful in person even with my playing which is saying a lot.

What color Kiwi? Did you have to put anything over the kiwi or did you just rub it on/off and let it dry?

Just got to play around with it and I really like the stock pickups. I will likely keep them after all. I do want to get a white guard made for it and some telecaster knobs, but it is solid. I have a demo uploading. It should be live soon. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meAOsjTdyzQ[/youtube]

I got a white one off of eBay because it checks off a lot of my modding lists. Alder body. White. Dual Humbuckers. No Rhythm Section. Hardtail Bridge. String Through Body. My plans are to put a white pickguard on this guitar and add a Super Distortion pickup and a Santa Ana pickup in the neck. Also ...

This is my headstock.
