big brother to the liam-0-caster
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 3:44 pm
My wife picked up a starcaster at a garage sale for cheap because it had fender on the headstock. I did a set up and slapped on some new strings. I liked it, it has a nice chunky neck and is easy to play. Very light body. Not bad for a beginners guitar. It came with white guard and pup covers. I actually sounded really nice how it was. So I figured it would be a fun project. I am not sure if it had original pups and guard, because it was three ply w/b/w and the ceramic pups sounded nice but had odd cut wires to the volume pot still attached.
looked like this
Basically, cut a new all black glossy pickguard (protective plastic still on in pics) with only one bridge pickup cutout and one hole for the vol/tone pot.
I took my high output GFS bridge lipstick that I had in the little stagg guitar that the roe's have now and slapped it in with 250 push pull pot. In is volume and out is tone. I also have a bent saddle, big block steel tremolo from GFS that I will toss on.
