It'd be funny if you could install a mechanism on the back of the headstock so that when you use the whammy bar, a little *BANG!* flag pops out.

Re: All it takes is one bad day.....
In keeping with the Tv show, the sticker should be at an odd or "Dutch" angle.
That's how you knew the scene was in a villain's lair.
I would align the center line of his face parallel to the center line of the output jack.

If you could bleach the neck to be a very pale/white, maple, that'd be really cool as well

Re: All it takes is one bad day.....
I tried to figure out a way with the joy buzzer or flower but didn't like what I was seeing. Then I found some stuff I think will be cool.
Knobs that look like shotgun shells and a switch tip that looks like a bullet. Hopefully a three way tele switch and five way tele switch have the same switch post. I will find out soon....

I could add a sticker to the pickguard that says "BANG" but I don't know if I want to overdo the decorations.

Man, I liked the spinning sticker suggestion. The bullet knobs are genius as well.

Re: All it takes is one bad day.....
The wording of your poll confuses me. I think it should be right-side-up in playing position not hanging position but I don't know which option to pick.

You would want option two where the top of the sticker faces the arm contour.rhythmjones wrote:The wording of your poll confuses me. I think it should be right-side-up in playing position not hanging position but I don't know which option to pick.

Purple Squier came in. I love how dark the metallic purple is. Very similar to the Japanese Mascis purple. Also my neck plate came in.

Re: All it takes is one bad day.....
Audio demo. I like the stock pickups more than I expected. I will probably keep them in. It plays very nicely.

I took the neck and guard off. It has shielding painting, but no wire grounding it. I will fix that before I put it back together. It has H/S/H routing. The bridge has a small block and it only had two strings. I changed it to four since I will be upping the string gauge quite a bit. Stock electronics are mini pots and cruddy switch so I didn't waste money ordering new pots and stuff.

Re: All it takes is one bad day.....
I sanded off the original logo so I can add my Joker one. I revised it a bit since the headstock is a large strat one vs a small one. I think it will look nice.
