    Its amazing what you can do to a cheap guitar to make it sound reasonable.

    I bought a squire Affinity Tele for $50 and gutted it then rebuilt it to use as a test tele for my pickups, put a homespun tele pup in the bridge and now its my go to home player.

    Looks great. Dig the brushed steel pickguard on the black.

    Looks a million dollars now. Those darkstars will sound great. Even better the louder you crank them.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Thanks guys for all your kind comments.

    @Swanny, yeah, it is a bit like buying your wife a power tool for a birthday present but I am sure my Son will like it as much as I do.

    @Andy40, 2 x PBG & 2 x DIY kits plus these 2 rebuilds plus a Yamaha Pacifica & Epihone Slash LP that will get the fidelity and maybe orange cap upgrades.

    Need to send the missus on a shopping trip this weekend so I can fully crank things up.

    @pablopepper, pickguard on eBay for $15 delivered from Hong Kong. Hard to beat that price and this one should last longer than the previous acrylic mirror one.

    Soundclips now done.

    Can anyone advise how to attach/insert/upload MPEG-4 Audio files? Do I have to post on Youtube or can this be done similar to uploading photos from a folder on my hard drive?

    Thanks, Waz

    my thought would be something like soundcloud, no idea if we have support for embedding though
