How are you going to use it?

/thread, lock this.

Just finished this tonight. Still needs a setup (and a gold neck plate) but loving it so far. Weighs in at 5lb 15oz. I’ll take some glamour shots in the coming days but here’s a teaser: Full parts list: GFS XGP Body (Memorial Day blem discount) Decoboom pickguard Kluson gold plated steel 6 saddle br...

Looks really nice, especially the guitar-amp combo! In my experience, what people tend to call unfinished neck on "budget guitars" is a regular, thick finish done with matte lacquer. It can sometimes reach like a couple of millimetres in thickness and people would still be calling them un...

The neck arrived yesterday, although I’m not calling this quite finished yet - the necks on these maple models feel rough and unfinished…these are necks on supposed $500 guitars, tbh it feels rougher than the $150 Bullets or Sonic Series or whatever they’re called now. Wondering if someone had sande...

Ended up “winning” a maple surfliner neck from eBay…got a few bucks cheaper than the other one posted here, and the truss rod is said to be working well. Few options and tbh I haven’t really had many guitars with maple fingerboard…maple on sherwoodish green is still a good look and I do kind of like...

hell yeah!

I’ve owned a Squier Bullet MIJ that dated to 1984 I think. Paid $200 and parted the poor thing….sold the loaded body on eBay for about what I paid and threw the neck on a newer Squier Standard Tele I sold to Dillon. Definitely a 2008 Nick thing to do :| I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Tele custom fro...

PROTIP

FUCK TUNING IT TO E. TUNE IT UP TO F.


it seriously solved every problem I had with mine.

Sounds kinda like a capo tho

Ah it didn’t occur to me it was a 23 fret neck- I was counting wrong and figured it just had the 22nd on the heel instead of on a fretboard overhang

My Ovation Tornado is actually 23 frets, but other than that I’ve never seen it anywhere else

I saw that one on eBay - it looks like there may be a truss rod issue though. And all said and done I’d be in it for not much less than a used one goes for regularly- so if I must go that route I’d like to make sure it’s solid. I’d also prefer to find a rosewood neck from a deluxe. Slightly annoying...

Bought a Casio MIJ strat neck a while back from Love of Fuzz for $50. Have been hankering for a Guild Surfliner Deluxe in metallic green since they came out. Found a loaded body on eBay for a good price. Guild.png 25.5" body 25.5" neck. Fits the pocket like a glove. Looks fricken sweet, be...

Love the white one, the bridge looks great!

Love the color combo - reminds me of that Silent Siren MIJ telecaster.

Re: Bridge, I would look for an older Bronco bass style, looked like a musicmaster bridge, a lot cooler than the squared off one and should bolt right on. Don't know why they ever changed it.

So this is a Tone Master Pro. I’ve been seeing talk about these but assumed it was a solid state pro reverb like the Deluxe Reverb and Twin.

And last I heard a Headrush was a (somewhat dated) Looper by Akai

Bridge is also clearly not Fender. Yikes.

Neck looks legit at least?

How many Nicks does it take to spot a fake loaded pickguard?

The controls also look sus.

I’m not an expert but pretty sure only MIM standard and lower were using bar magnets on single coils. Doesn’t look right to me on a 99.

Edit: way back machine confirmed a USA standard strat back then would have “delta tone” system pickups, which were just Alnico 5’s

“Coupletones” etcetc
