The fogs lifting. It's becoming clear now. :lol:

You do a very thorough professional job when you do a mod don't you?

It now has an alnico strat pup in the neck and a GFS "Mean 90" in the bridge. I simplified the wiring too; dual concentric for the volume/tone and a simple LP-style toggle switch. I'll have to take some updated pics.

The shoe polish didn't do anything to the feel at all? Not really, but it did spend quite a few minutes really wiping it down with a cotton rag. It developed a semi-glossy shine, but that went away after playing a little bit. I noticed a slight waxiness on the back of the neck on first day, but haven't since.

Also on the fretboard, you can see some dullness where I've played, but other areas retain some shine. This isn't the prettiest, but it definitely looks more "played in." I'll wipe it down again next time I change strings.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/another-squier-51-mod-project-w-pics/paged/2/#post-157912 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/another-squier-51-mod-project-w-pics/paged/2/#post-157873 Thu, 09 Feb 2006 10:13:59 +0000
The shoe polish didn't do anything to the feel at all? This reminded me of a laquer tweed oboe case my mom had. She did the same thing to give it a vintage tint. It was allready old to begin with, but still...]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/another-squier-51-mod-project-w-pics/paged/2/#post-157873 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/another-squier-51-mod-project-w-pics/paged/2/#post-157495 Wed, 08 Feb 2006 03:03:06 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance Voodoo_Merman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/another-squier-51-mod-project-w-pics/paged/2/#post-157495
