Buxom I offered it the RK mate, so really he gets first refusal. But don't worry, I'll sort you some junk out that I've got knocking about the place.

Things turn up all the time.

No, no hidden expense or cost.

However if you want to send me random bits of clutter of a guitar related nature. They'll either get used or sit around till someone else wants em. Which will sort of cover the cost of postage.
Though a return package is by no means a necessary requirement.

Fair Dinkum mate (Aussie slang).
Your plans for this Guitar change hourly.
A Bigsby, a Floyyd Rose, Telecaster brdige, install pickups, make it into a lefty.
It all sounds a bit ambitious mate. Now your going to smash it because you don't like the colour ?? Hmm, why not do something simple and creative.
Firstly, just get a classical guitar bridge and stick it on ...... DONE.

As far as the finish is concerned, here's an idea.

A - Close down your computer and go outside.
B - Spray paint the guitar in whatever random colours you like or can find. Allow to dry and do as many layers of colour as you wish.
C - Top coat generously with a can of satin black (or matt). Allow to dry.
D - Sand the guitar, revealing the lower layers of paint in areas. This is the creative part. Write on it, put stickers on, whatever.
E - Relic by sliding it down the footpath and/or throwing small stones at it. Don't be to rough on it, take your time. It could look something like this (the finish I mean).

If you restring with nylons, you'll have something to practice finger picking on, or just hang it on the wall.

Whatever you do, just do something and THEN tell us about it.

Goodonya.

Yours are the thoughts of a truly creative mind. 8) Good on you for that.
----Danny,

I got a bridge Vintage Noiseless you can have, if you want it.

I trimmed the wires so it needs to go in the bridge position.


I will take it if you don't need it any more. PM me the specifics on how much it will cost to get it to me. I gonna start a thread on the Stratocaster board.

Ahhh, if you come across a full brass bridge, send it my way. You know, the kind with the brass plate and block? I'd be sure to give you a bunch of my guitar/amp parts. i have amp pots, tele knobs, an 8" speaker, and tons more.

Yeah cheers DD. I'm never short of creative ideas. Instead of being irritated, I thought I'd try and help the little $#!%, try to keep him occupied for the afternoon. It didn't help though. Five minutes later he had the neck broken :lol: No patience.

I'll do that paintjob meself when I get the time, maybe on my Hohner resonator.

Image

It got knocked over a few times and when I changed the strings, the neck came apart in my hands in 4 pieces :lol: :lol:
It's all glued up now but its worthless for resale.

Goodonya .....Mark.

Wow. Seriously? Your trashing that guitar 'cuz its pink? G-Suz christ boy!...

So you would smash your "beloved" 54 strat you always talks about if it was COLORED PINK????
Because you said you would only smash 'cuz its pink.

Do you think SRV would be all like "Nope. Not going to play this because it is pink." Well if he was thinking that way he would not have his #1 strat. Because he traded a other "newer" strat for the already beat-up 54.

Oh BOY im mad right now.

I would never damage a guitar. Not in this life.

TAKE CARE,
Mac

My Squier is my personal 54 im getting it refinished in sunburst and with a matte finish. and getting a maple neck thats a vintage one
