I vote mint green pickguard if you have one :) BTW - is there a specific better nut anyone can recommend that will exactly fit this guitar? I'm going to use one of these - Graph Tech TUSQ XL Fender Style Slotted Nut - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HGQTIG/ I find that the original stock nut w...

This is just a quick update for my second Squier Bullet Mustang mod (this one in Imperial Blue) with dual single coil pickups and standard Mustang slide switches. I haven't had much time to work on it recently but today I took time to do some routing. For this current mod I had to take the hand-rout...

Where did you get the pickguard? Considering getting one of these if I can replace the guard easily enough It's super easy to make them fit. I bought a few cheapies on Ebay and Amazon. (6-8 bucks each shipped). They all seem to be identical and can fit the Bullet Mustang by removing a very small am...

I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on a white one. It really looks like a fun modding platform. I have this 2011 Vintage Modified JM Special in BSB that has an absolutely killer neck but that I wish they had made the body like this new Affinity (as far as having string through body, regular ha...

Thanks for the pics. Your neck is looking great! It's nice to know that Squier is using pickguards that can be replaced with very little work. That's going to look excellent with a white pickguard. As far as the Gotohs fitting, the most common issue/consideration you have to be aware of is the fit o...

If that 'stang is the imperial blue, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat - I looove that sparkly blue colour in those pics. They're going for just £120 right now, which is quite frankly an absolute steal if the build and sound quality are decent. They come in Black and Imperial Blue. Build quality and ...

It's absolutely 24" and Fender has finally updated their specs to reflect this.

God, that fucker is beautiful. Thank you! Definitely will snag one soon. How are the pickups? Wanna do some sound clips? The stock pickups are much better than I expected (once I dialed in the height) and I left them in the black Mustang for now. The blue Mustang will have two single coils in it an...

It's good that you guys are happy with the purchase, but I just don't get why you guys are buying all these disposable guitars like Kleenex. Just buy looking at the photos you can tell what a piece of shit these things are. They aren't guitars they something that looks like a guitar. And it's not a...

I'm interested to know how much these new Affinity JM's weigh. Have you weighed it yet?

Here's mine with a new pg, new tuners and a bit of Kiwi. What color Kiwi? Did you have to put anything over the kiwi or did you just rub it on/off and let it dry? Applying Kiwi is a wipe on/wipe off affair. I typically put a layer of brown Kiwi on and let it sit for three or four minutes and then w...

Rondo lists it as TV Yellow. To me, it lands somewhere between TVY and BSB.

I picked this Agile AD-201 up last month. A lot of guitar for the money. The quality is quite good.

Squier's new finish for the Baritone Jazzmaster has me seriously considering one. I lthink this is a whole lot nicer looking than the Antigua version

.... and here's the back of the headstock on the black Bullet Mustang that I posted pics of earlier in this thread. http://i67.tinypic.com/fw3dxv.jpg Original tuners were probably horrible, right? What'd you wind up using? I'm looking at some Kluson style (white knob) from WD. Looks like what you u...
