This is my new guitar. After I built the last one I started dreaming about a real hot rod machine. Something attractive and polished. I looked around and discovered that I couldn't afford what I was looking for but I could afford a cheaper guitar if I didn't mind doing the upgrades. So here is what I did. I bought this Squire "made in China" telecaster and immediately replaced the pickguard. I also ordered two Dimarzio pickups to replace the stock ones in the guitar. I also ordered a new three saddle bridge (the silver piece that holds the strings - for the uninitiated) to replace the stock one.. When it's all done this guitar will be a bad ass muther f@#ker (shut yer mouth). It's already been used on stage once and it looks real purty under the lights. I can't wait till its all done.

Now some of you will remember that I said I was going to build a second guitar and I probably will, but I found out that I couldn't get any parts from my supplier till March. The parts that were available were too expensive for my meager budget. So after looking around I figured I'd just start with a good looking body and replace the guts. Total price around $400.00 all in.

Now get out there and Rock the house!
