Vintage Modified - show yours

[Shine]

Say “Hello” to my little friend. After a little clean up, this baby’s a player!

Still regret not looking into one of those MII red Strats with super-red MOT guards. They had one for a decent price (at the time) at a now-closed local pawn shop. This was before I had seen the Squier “light,” and found the finish a bit over the top.

Nowadays I would be like “Yeah, good bang for the buck!”

That ‘64 Telecaster is superb (and the rest of your collection). Plus quite a resume with Fender and beyond.

Congratulations!

Love that 3rd pick up below the bridge on the Candy Apple Red Jaguar. Beautiful Red P/G. Please tell us what inspired the 3 pickup and how does it sound?

Thanks VT28. I noticed when I started playing the Jazzmasters and Jaguars how much chime and sympathetic resonance you could hear behind the bridge. I had been curious for a long time about what it would sound like to put a pick up back there, and to magnify that. It felt like a gamble, I thought there was a strong possibility I wouldn’t get anything musical from it at all. Here’s an initial video that shows, in the plainest way, what it sounds like without any manipulation or accentuation at al:

Metallic Cobalt Cyclone and a first-run burst '51 that I bought from Sam Ash for something ridiculous like $80. Love both of them:



While it isn't an actual VM, I also just pulled the trigger on a Sonic Grey Bullet Mustang to tinker with.
