How many of you have built parts guitars?

SPent a quarter of the total budget on pickups (one had Fender OVs, the other Duncan Broadcasters). They still need a bit of work when I get back around to them, but both are playable. Here's an overload of pictures: Your text to link here... And a couple pics: (the black w/ white guard) I'll probably do it again in the future. If you're patient about finding parts, it doesn't have to be too expensive. Top

Had it installed on my Ar300 which was a terrible injustice to the guitar. This seemed more fitting. Its always held tune for me, wouldnt part with it! Top

GFS Lipstick pickups were installed after the photo was taken. The bridge pup is a GFS Lipstick humbucker. http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/blackheartsfan/SquierBlueOceanBreeze018.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/blackheartsfan/SquierBlueOceanBreeze014.jpg Last edited: Dec 11, 2012 20:29:42 Top
