Is this some kind of fuckin Ponzi Scheme?

I finally received a UPS shipping notification today for one so maybe next week.

A dood on TGP recently cut a metal shim the height of the pickguard in order to fit a Biggs. Looks weird, and will need a wound G and saddle grooves on the compensated aluminum bridge in order to be playable.

Oh I see, tis the revenge for only releasing the Jarman Squiers in Europe.

Quid pro quo, Clarice... Quid pro quo...

If it's the same person, he's been doing videos on Youtube about it

Yeah, the 60 Cycle Hum podcast guys have been totally 'on' the SL youtube output once their original NAMM video blew up.

Love it with a Bigsby, just needs the scratchplate cut at a right angle to keep it looking elegant.. still looks a bit lopsided though:

Looks a good bit cleaner like that, nice and Marcus Miller'd.

Just reshape the pickguard around the unit. Duh.

The Bigsby style doesn't look good on that guitar. Too busy.

I'd whack a cheap thrills Tiesco-style GFS or some such.

Yeah could work but would be a total PITA to make it look decent

I don't think the routing will allow for an elegant solution for the Bigsby mod.

Epiphone is a different company from Squier.

Those cheap P90 Epiphones are pretty rare in Europe too.

Are you referring to the pickguard? This is a photoshop that shows the pickguard in relation to the routing.

The only thing white in this pic is the guitar's pickguard which has the routing superimposed over it to show the boundaries as a reference for modders.
