Members Anonymous Guy Posted July 27, 2009 Members Share Posted July 27, 2009 Post any modifications (pickguards, pickups, knobs, decals, stickers, refinishes, etc.) you've done to make your guitars look, play, and/or sound different from their stock incarnations! Not-so Black and Chrome Jaguar Special HH: Modifications: - 3-ply Parchment Pickguard - Jazz Bass control knobs - GFS Alnico II Classic Nickel (Bridge + Neck pair) The stock Dragster pickups were pretty low output single-coil sounding pickups. The Alnico II Classics actually push the Jaguar into Les Paul territory. Squier Vintage Modified Stratocaster (converted to HSS): Modifications: - GFS Pearloid HSS pickguard - Seymour Duncan JB (Bridge) - GFS import full-size tremolo block - Bone Nut - Switchcraft jack - Wilkinson Deluxe Kluson-style tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougie.Douglas Posted July 27, 2009 Members Share Posted July 27, 2009 Changed the pickguard and installed straplocks (schaller)... haha. I plan on putting a JB Hotrail in, changing the nut and tuners and saddles (to provide better tuning stability). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wulver Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 here's mine. replaced the pickups with GFS Mean 90s. Then added in that rotary switch to allow for additional pickup combinations (series and out-of-phase in a addition to the standard three). Might eventually add a Bigsby. Also changed out the original speed knobs for a set of black Tele knobs. Liked the color way too much to attempt a refinish. also has some nicks and even a gouge or two from falls, and an odd bit of blue paint that somehow ended up on the back. ....and yeah, I like buttons.
