Re: FSR CV 70's thinline custom telecaster maple+black binding

My thought exactly. If it was natural instead of white it just might work. I'm one of those people that think maple b&b can work with anything but I do agree that natural is S tier pairing with that neck and probably would be an easier pill to swallow for most people when being presented with &...

Are any of them selling at these prices? I was kind of thinking the fact that they just reissued the blue sparkle would put a major leak in the prices of the old vistas (they did just reissue blue sparkle as a paranormal squier, right?)

The Internet would be so much better with more oblivious yet sincere nicheposters.

My favorite response was the person who blew right past any context and just started listing the different "color" "faceplate" fender amps they owned and how they all sounded, how they compared to others, what changed with production years, which one sounded better with dirt etc....

Are you looking to specifically buy an actual fender produced neck or are you open to necks made to fit mustang's by other manufacturers?

Which pickups do you want to have in series? I think Neck and Middle being activated by one push/pull pot and Bridge and middle being activated by another would give me the most bang for my buck. I'd also love a phase switch for the middle so that it could put out of phase with the neck or bridge w...

Looking for some Bass VI series/parallel magic please

Hey everyone, I've become really interested in scrambling up my squier and getting as many tonal options out of it as I can, but most of the forum postings I've been finding are filled with dead imageshack links. There's plenty of threads about people talking about fancy stuff with DPDT switches and...

I posted a thought in your projects thread about commissioning someone to make you a chrome plate or surround that covers the original route and mounting a toronado bridge onto that. I used way more words and ideas in the other thread, but not sure that they add any value or wisdom to the idea

Maybe you could do a toronado bridge sitting on a custom chrome plate that covers the original footprint of the bronco bridge? Kind of like how fender compromised on the alternate reality xii and used a bog standard gotoh(?) 12 string hardtail strat bridge but threw everyone a bone by adding a chrom...

Thanks for the info! I'd always thought because of the scale length it'd be a drop in replacement, that's a bummer about the extra fret turning it from a plug and play situation into a "hack into the body or chop down the neck" one

I could be way off here, but wasn't the 90s Mexican duosonic neck a shortscale conversion that could be bolted onto a 25.5 body?

Either way I'm sure your custom neck is of really high quality and hopefully everything you wanted.

I've been wanting to do the same thing with my first guitar, an affinity strat! I'll never get rid of it but I stopped playing it ages ago and a friend asked for the white pickguard and the pickup covers so for years it's just been a bright red body and neck. I've been wanting to just go nuts with r...

If only Fender already made a pink tele with the perfect pickups and you'd already posted about it in the third fucking post in this thread. Honestly as cool as that guitar is, it sounds like you'd most enjoy the squier affinity version of it. Thinner body like an SG, wayyyy less weight, and if you...

No lie that's actually one of the coolest designs ever! I've always thought LPs were THE most boring guitar shape but adding that top horn flips everything on its head!
