Neat Project In The Wings

[Chistopher]

I've got a bunch of random hardware laying around so I decided to get to buy a guitar just to get rid of it. What I found was a black Squier Bullet Mustang. It had a lil bit of fret sprout and a cracked guard so the shop gave it to me for a little over $100. I've never worked with fret sprout but a friend of mine is going to try and teach me. He says it's not too hard to fix.

I had to order a new pickguard for it to fit the Lace Sensors I'm going to put in it. Unfortunately the only thing I got that fit my specs for less than $70 only came in mint green, but I'm alright with that. I'm going to be converting the controls to simply a master volume and a 3-way toggle.

Also I'll be replacing the hard tail strat style bridge with a jazzmaster bridge and bigsby tailpiece I have laying around.

I'll send pics and updates as it happens.

Sounds like an interesting project.
Pics and clips will be good.

Yeah, I can't quite visualize this, so I'd love to see pics!!

Here's a quick little mockup I did.

Any ideas how to hid the holes from the current bridge if I don't decide to paint it?

[Mincer]

Wow, that will certainly be unique! Maybe a custom pickguard to cover those holes?

[Chistopher]

That's definitely an option. Maybe one that extends a little bit lower.

Also I'm now thinking I may replace the knobs with black strat knobs so I can do some shenanigans with an S1 switch

That is bizarre. I love it.

Anyone know who on Etsy or something could get me a vinyl logo made? It would just be my last name in a font I came up with.

I would hit your local sign shop. They have plotters/cutters that can bang out whatever you want. Most online sticker companies want a minimum of 25 - 100 pieces.
