DMS-1 - mustang/duo-sonic short scale

[Simon Barden]

What gauge strings have you got on it? With that shorter scale, you could probably step up a gauge from normal.

Ok team!

A few things to report:

1. Couldnt stand the kit strings with the mis matched high E. So.....Ernie ball 10’s went on this morning. Very very nice feel to it now.

2. It may be too early to say this but i will......I think i have found “my” guitar.
I havnt got small hands - in fact my motorcycle gloves are XXL. But my fingers dont really like stretching across frets. This short scale is working for me.

3. Even though the finish is totally acceptable and shiny i think It could have done with about 10 more coats of tru oil. For that truely resilient armour coat.

4. These bridges arent the greatest and as i was thrashing about the grub screws in the saddles loosened. So as i was confident that the positioning height if the strings was correct i put a tiny drip of super glue on each grub screw and they are now locked in forever. No loosening them now.

5. Im kind of excited to be working on headstock decals and just playing this one for a while.

6. The single coil kit pickups are actually pretty good at normal room volumes. I am happily surprised. However .......My next iteration will be towards hot rail type humbuckers.

7. This is a family forum.
Please dont mention the Great Australian Disappointment that is “Scotty from Marketing”.
Oops did i just get political. Sorry about that. Now back to normal programming.........
