GFS are out of stock of the standard '51 guards in tortoiseshell, they only have the Custom ones which cover more of the guitar body. I just ordered a Custom one, it took a week to get to me in the UK, and I used the old guard to mark out and cut the Custom one to the old shape. Fretsaws, files...

Love these guitars. Ive got two now The blonde one now has a new GFS guard, and Ive put the wiring back to nearly what it used to have. The sunburst is one I got for a steal for £41!. All Ive done is fitted a black guard to replace the one that was missing. Think Ill keep this one stock...

Lots of stuff about these guitars at http://www.instituteofnoise.com/squier51/forum/default.asp Like a lot of others, I missed out on these, and to be honest they didnt really "blow them out" as much over here in the UK I have just got hold of a modded blonde one, which I am going to mod...

Recently got hold of an Epiphone Invader very cheap. This is an Indonesian made Lp Jnr with a generic humbucker. I decided it would be a good guitar to mod a bit, so I changed the ropey tuners for some nice old Fender acoustic ones I had in my parts box. I the changed the stock pickup for a...

Heres mine 1998 Affinity modded into an Esquire. has a great switching mod that gives vol+tone/vol only/straight to jack. The early affinities are nice, because they have thru stinging, full thickness body and hotter p/ups Now my Squier Standard, lives with either a white pearl guard or a red...
