Just thought I'd share a small victory this week! π
The culmination of a 5yr project:
Mustang Baritone inspired by the Elliott Guitars 357.
Body-Squier Bullet Mustang HH
Neck-Warmoth Telecaster Baritone Conversion Neck
Pickups-GFS Gold Foil Single Coils (Sound incredible for the money, so happy with them [shoutout to Brandon Wilson for the 5yr old Christmas gift haha])
Pickguard-Custom made by myself from birdseye maple, laser cut/etched and beveled by hand
Switch & Cover-GFS Correct "Rockabilly" Toggle
Tuners-Squier stock (for now; will be replaced soon)
Bridge-Wilkinson Compensated Tele Bridge (stretched to its MAX to get the strings to not fret-out lol)
Super happy with how it turned out, using a custom set of baritone strings from Stringjoy, 64-17; tuned to B-Standard (BEADF )
Can't wait to play it this week!
(Pre-Orders for this guitar not available lol)
