When I had one I don't remember the strings being stopped by the metal plate, I think they are stopped at the other end of the body, I might be wrong though. If you do remove the plate the guitar isn't all finished under it as it's the plate that is earthed, so you'd still have a crap looking guitar just with an earthing problem...STABxYOU wrote:They do run through, and the metal piece is what retains them in place. Remove the metal piece, the strings aren't stopped by anything, so you'd need to add a stopbar or the ends of the strings would just be loose.mage wrote:hm? I don't get it, do the strings not run through the body?
That natural finished one is pretty nice. I sorta wanna refinish mine in seafoam green.

I'd say at this point, I've grown to accept the big chrome plate, so it's not worth the effort to mod. When I bought it I was planning on modding it with an EMG 81, swapping out all the hardware and a few other things, and now... I've grown to like it just as it is.Mityushikha wrote:When I had one I don't remember the strings being stopped by the metal plate, I think they are stopped at the other end of the body, I might be wrong though.

Non original shortscales. Any shortscale fenders that aren't Mustangs, Broncos, Duo-Sonics, Musicmasters or Jaguars

That makes me want to start me Mustang project so bad. Nicely done with the Jag Tremolo. After seeing this guitar and Fran's Jag-stang, I like the Jag-trem in these other Shortscales.Aeon wrote:Some high res pics of my project:

This thread has me thinking . Fender has the Tele with Dynatrons called " The Cabronita " . If I throw in Dynatrons in my Toronado could I call it " The Pendeja " ? Seriously, think about it . A Mustang with Dynatrons can be called a " Hueyputa " .
A "cabron" is slang in a lot of latin countries as an idiot or a guy that is too dumb to realize other guys are banging his girl for anyone not that familiar with Spanish. " Cabronita " feminizes it . Dynatrons in a Fender can justify a profane name for your guitar ? That is pretty frickin funny.
