Maybe it was done the Cold War style where CIA and KGB swapped captured agents on a bridge in Berlin. "Psst, where are those Les Paul plans. Are they real? Good, here are the tabs for Little Wing"(goes home builds a Mustang)

One of the Japanese manufacturers, I think it was ESP, used to make an almost exact Mustang copy but in 24.75" scale. I wonder if it was the same manufacturer that had made your guitar as in the 70s all the now respectable Japanese companies were only learning how to make proper replicas by put...

Looks rad!
Looks like one of them old Gretsch bridges. I never understood how intonation worked on them

Next time they should put it on the fretboard

Nice bass!

He made a video about the Bad Monkey and now it's expensive. Lmao. A four knob tube screamer nobody cared about which you could buy $30 used is being sold for $200. It's so sick... It seems like I missed something. Is there anything it can do that it couldn't do before? I had one once and wasn't so...

Looks awesome. RJ Ronquillo's Novo looks somewhat similar to this body/pickguard colour combination.

White Dimarzio humbuckers with white pickup rings.

Great looking guitar, congrats!

All in all I agree with the fact that it's immoral to just rip what others came up with having invested time, effort and money. Then again the majority of pedal builders don't come up with original circuits either but tweak a dozen of already existing ones. Once in a blue moon someone comes up with ...

Topology/circuits rule, not who puts them together. At this point Chinese companies can build any analogue pedal at a price of a cup of coffee. The unobtainium shit is about 99% bullshit and probably works only for NOS Germanium transistors that no one makes and which I couldn't give two shits about...

And the latest made in Mexico run of coursr

They used a guitar just like that in Pet Sounds! It started new and looked like that by the end of the record sesh.

I didn't know that, I always thought they never reissued the Duo Sonic except for the Fender run in the 1990s and the Squier run in the 2010s(Classic Vibe). Did you have yours from new?

It looks like a 22" scale Fender Duo Sonic from the 1990s to me, Rahbro.
