^ Funny you ask but it seems that most people have the prestigious opinion that Vintage Mint Green pickguards shouldn't be on white guitars. Black and Sunburst are what most prefer them paired with but I guess having a white guitar with a mint green pg is like wearing a brown belt with a black outfi...

^Thank you Sir! I decided on mixing and matching the pickups. I ordered the SD SSL3 bridge and the aniquity SD neck pickup (RWRP). Just waiting on shipping, also waiting on the conductive paint etc.

I would actually like any input on the pickups I'm considering between the SD antiquity Duo Sonic Set or SD SSL-3 bridge/SD SSL-5 neck. Any other info i.e. do strat pickups just swap in or are the poles spaced differently?

I normally love natural finish guitars but this looks like someone bought an inexpensive Warmoth body and didn't bother to paint/finish. There are countless ideas that spring to mind but I digress, no point in fantasizing.

thanks Dude ^ yeah first guitar I ever bought and I wanted to breathe new life into it \m/

I finally found and chose a 24" scale neck. After lots of research, considering between fixing up the original (new frets, bone nut, crown-level-polish), or going 24" mustang etc, or even Strat neck of 25.5"...I finally made my decision. I didnt want to move the bridge back for the ne...

PROJECT: Fender Duo Sonic 93' MIM (sorry bad pics). So heres the story after 20 years of playing guitar this was the first guitar I ever bought with my own hard earned cash at the age of 13. I loaned it out during College to my Lil' Cuz to learn how to play and it ended up a little rough around the ...

Certainly, Im more of fan of arctic or olympic white myself. But any sorta vintage white is cool too.

My favorite color scheme for fenders. I want a family of white fenders all with tortoise shell pgs

:shock: I didnt catch that "nothing plugged" in part, I guess I only read the "move your mic around"...etc hahaha either way I'd rather hear the actual playing personally. In which like I said I stated the same thing in different words based on personal preference. But a cool tec...

Got my mic placement tip from Butch Vig, turn your amp up full volume (with nothing plugged into it) then move the mic around listening for the frequencies you want to zone in on (I find this works best with headphones plugged into your recording device). Sounds weird but it works... Finding the ri...

I think these guitars look cool, but Ive never played one.

I thought it was one of the worst/cheapest necks I'd ever played, very reminiscent of the first batch of Mexican standard Strat maple necks. Agreed. My first guitar was a 94 MIM Strat. The maple neck was horrible... Perhaps the worst I've ever owned. I was able to compare it with a 94 Duo Sonic... ...

^ Thank you Sir! If it were American or Custom Shop I may or may not mod them either but the MIM stuff is perfect for modding to me. Everything bolts right up, no problems. Locking tuners required no drilling since they weren't the vintage style etc. The pickups fit with out filing etc. Pickguard ch...
