Very nice, I like that colour scheme on Fender styles :)

I had a 1970s Fender Music Master that was the same colour as that  8)

Nice one :D

Somehow this almost gets under the radar of my aversion to the "wonky fender" shapes! :lol:

That's probably cos of this:

its unintentionally ended up a bit like this:

I thought of that one the minute I saw your pics.

Nice job Wez. It looks really cool  :D

I think gwEm has given a big clue.

i am hoping the next one i post finished in my current productive streak will be the double neck - should be able to get that buffed up in the next month or so ready for assembly.  it is looking rather special

That would be great - still no rush on it, though I'm really interested to hear how it sounds.  I know it looks amazing already!

yeah, its a kind of collection of ideas Wez and I had about Duo-Sonics. Obviously I had that dodgy 70s musicmaster a while back I had to return, but that set the wheels in motion for this. Was cool having a 24" scale on a stable guitar (not a Jaguar or Jagstag which I'd tried before). Theres features from all the different Duo Sonic models on this guitar - the best of the best if you like.

its all Wez's fine work of course, except for a few little parts I sent him, which included the wiring. Wez doesn't like the phase switch, and I believe him :) But I felt it was worth giving it a shot, considering they were on the duo sonic 2 of the late 60s. Perhaps it will be usable for a special effect or something.

can't wait to get my hands on it to tell you the truth. it looks fantastic in the pictures and wez tells me (except for the phase switch) it sounds as good as it looks. i'm working on a track at the moment where this would fit in really well.

it will be a couple more weeks until its in my hands though. kind of drooling at the prospect! i really like the other WezV items in my collection - a strat neck, a 70s strat and the firebird. plus he put together a steinberger from some parts I had, though i play that one less than the others though sadly.. pehaps i'll give it an outing tonight :)

[WezV]

the phase switch just seems to act more like a lo-fi switch on this - if anyone can make that work its you ;)

if i was keeping it  i would  swap it out for a tone preset like a c--ked wah or tone roll off, maybe even a blower switch

there are a few none duo-sonic features to suit gwem too.  subtle stuff like the extra contours and  control layout which is much more spaced out to bring the volume closer to the bridge than on any non-strat fender - but i think it really works well from an aesthetic point of view too  and will allow gwem to do some pinky rolls with the volume, which i know he is fond of.

It's a bit difficult trying to imagine someone as tall as gwEm playing a dinky little guitar with a 24" scale.   :P

[WezV]

its a lot bigger than a steinberger ;)

[Philly Q]

Godd point  :lol:

[bucketshred]

 maybe even a blower switch

Saucy!

What's one of those?

[WezV]

just bypasses all the controls - some set it so it switches straight to bridge pickup with no controls too

bit pointless if you are an always on 10 kinda player, but useful if you actually use your tone control 

[Dmoney]

If you play with knobs then a blower switch is useful.  PDT_049 PDT_049
