MB bridges are string-through-body tho, a whole other world of hassle to install. No matter how good you are the ferrules always come out crooked, well nearly always.

I dunno why phones won't take a straight up image these days, but take it from me that the mint green was too mint green. Got a Musiclily parchment guard off eBay, not a micron-precise match but no mods needed. Before: http://i.imgur.com/nP6wqeT.jpg After: http://i.imgur.com/1t3ESTZ.jpg At first it ...

The hole routed in the body under the pickguard indicates Mexican made. Neck looks legit if the decal is real, but there is something odd about the gold in the logo that makes me wonder.

yeah that is some no-name off-brand bullshit there! The nerve.

Hell yes! Much more so than the only Squier Musicmaster released:

or flip it around and use a Y cable so it gets an input but no output

That is bonkers, the perfect fit is messing with my mind.

Alas it’s just too small for me, it’ll have to move along I think. The neck is tiny, my hands are not!

It’s what Kurtdz would have wanted

Despite a year of stupid excess, I am really looking forward to that as the last of the spree.

Isn’t the estimate $1-2 million?

Well the job is uncertain …

… but there’s always another guitar.

Silly, really, as if its value is in any way related to its function as an instrument.

Gee. I thought “hey I wonder if it’s the same year as my ‘96?” and then, “no, probably not huh.”

Yeah. It's really solid actually, although I should say I have a set of 12s on it so that probably helps. The neck is so slender after the other things I've played, it feels like a toy. The pickups really are crap. I have a set from Ken Rose which I will wire in when I get through my giant to-do lis...

Fantastic collection. How do you like the 12 string? I’m shocked how playable and just nice it feels. Neck is beautifully finished, flat radius but that’s needed, and barely more work than a six string to chord. A few tuning gremlins I will chase down when I have more time. Also the tuner buttons r...

HELL yes. That shit on the pickguard will buff off, the rest looks solid and chuckable, should be great fun. You should enlarge the route and put one of these in: http://www.eyguitarmusic.com/Wide-Range-Layout-Jazzmaster-Humbucker-Cancelling-pickup-Neck-or-Bridge-Pickup12pcs-of-Alnico-5-Rod_p_2812.h...

Enjoying a Sunday morning

So - after an hour of cleaning, sanding, wetsanding with oil, steel wool with oil, and buffing, I got it looking better. Still got a huge light area on the high strings: http://i.imgur.com/VQyZjxW.jpg Overall, the dusty look is almost gone. It's still covered in file marks (you can see the high E ed...

Yep. I have to stop taking photos on that charcoal grey carpet, it makes everything look weird. Renting so not what I would have chosen. The XII looks rosewood-y but could use an oil.
