That looks amazing. How did this start and what did you mod? How's the mustang pup?

Squier vi, colour matched headstock, pickguardian pick guard, Novak xii pickup. The xii pickup sounds much more bass like than the factory pickups

That thing is beautiful. Very nicely done. I especially like the pickguard and matching headstock.

Do the Staytrem VI bridges work with the Kunkle necks? I'm thinking of doing another build JM style

I just picked up a Squier VI yesterday, Here she is with my other guitars. I ordered a set of kalium 106 sets for it. Where do you guys find pick guards for them?

After a few days of playing it, I've noticed a couple thing,

Im going to replace the bridge tail piece and tuners. I'm thinking america reissue vibrato and staytrem I have some reissue tuners already here that will go on when i get my new strings

There seems to be quite a volume drop when using more than one pickup

I love playing this thing though, Fret work on mine is very good and that neck feels great.

I have noticed that on mine too. Apparently this is intentional to avoid muddiness since the bass heavy signal can be too much.
Not sure how true that statement is though. They do sound nice but I usually push them a bit with a comp or booster.
