Re: Squier "strat" Is it black with a smaller crudely cut headstock by chance? Because they used a sticker that would come off. Normally have no serial and no manufacturing labels, and if that is the case it's indonesia.

Never bought something sight unseen before, but I'm incredibly impressed. LTD MH-1000HS. I don't see how they can refer to it as violet shadow fade if it's all blue watercolors but it looks great. These things have a hot rails in the neck, and a Pegasus in the bridge. Which I...

So I was gifted this MIJ thing and just got done cleaning it up and bringing it back up to snuff. 1988 Washburn B-10 Force ABT. So I have no idea how it works, but it's active with a push pull to make it passive. Also has a stereo jack. It's incredibly convenient and I'm loving how it...

Re: A rare japanese sparkly creature found it's way to my workbench this week.

36 years of fretwear and gigging from it's owner, a 1983 Westone Raider I. The fretboard was so dry it was starting to crack open, it had wire wool marks up and down the neck where it was never masked off, and the frets were worn down to sharp angular saw-tooth like blades. It sits at a...

Re: Show Off Your Affinity/Bullet 2008 affinity, it was a sunburst. The only stock parts remaining are the single coils because I don't use them and they're still the right color to blend with the parchment guard. Used it as my first attempt at a refinish, I think it came out alright.

Re: NCD 412 Buckled down and started hammering out this project since I had everything ready, learned a lot and had many many many many inconvenient issues that popped up from my own lack of knowledge. I'll be throwing the corners on it soon but for now I am tired and need a break from it...

Didn't finish trimming it when I took the pictures, it's late and I don't trust myself with a razor when tired. I cut up this proof of concept on a scrap P bass guard, I figured I would use my scrap tolex from my cab I'm working on and throw it on a strat guard, think it's worth attempting or...

Re: The Official April 2K18 SDUGF Modding Contest Started out as a sunburst 2008 Squier Strat, it was the first guitar I bought when I took interest in it and within 6 months outgrew everything about it, In 2014 when I joined the forum I had it laying around in it's original format and decided...

Re: Favorite Nonstandard Guitar Color? I never like a color long enough to say I have a favorite, but these two are pretty great. No idea what color the green is. Magenta Sparkle: I just want an RGB slider on the back of my guitars. Maybe a clear sheet of metallic filled acrylic stuffed...

Re: New Project Strat Day! I just finished working on one of these to give to a cousin a few months back, the stock tuners might have been the worst I have ever seen. I could spin one in a circle like it didn't even have a worm gear. The neck post fretwork was rather nice for a cheap guitar...

Re: How not to reline a guitar case 101 Step 13: If you have a box you have to re-staple a lid to, you can cover the staples with a piece of velvet covered felt and glue it in place. Step 14: create a small strip of velvet to cover the inside lip of the lid of the case and glue it in place...

This topic is not often breached by guitar players as working with dress material isn't metal. Without further adieu... Required materials: One sh*tty guitar case A ruler Quilter's and dressmaker's pencils Scissors Masking tape A staple gun(?) Respirator mask with filters that can handle...

Re: Let's See Them Vs!!!! 1985 Ibanez PR1660, just finished leveling and dressing the frets and setting it up properly last week.

I opened my bass case to see that my brass saddles were kinda solid oxidation and yick and the chrome was looking hazy and gross again, seeing as the last time I polished anything on it was about 3 years ago and it rarely gets to see sunlight. So I get the idea that maybe I should attack it...
