I don't think they ever fell out of usage. I've heard and used them my whole life.

Nope! Love it. I also have the John East 3 band, 3 knob preamp. They go very well together. I’ll likely sell the Aguilar in the classifieds, here. I’ll let this thread know when I list it.

Hah! Same here. I’m about to swap in the Nordstrom bc I want to put a switch on it and don’t want to back up this Aguilar.

I have the Ray4 in the same color, love it.

I ordered one, I’ll post about it when I get it. I ended up speaking with the shop over the phone - they were fresh out of black thanks to TB and Lowendlobster’s posts and wanted to let me know there would be a resupply delay. Apparently the saddles are a Russian/Ukrainian bell bronze and have a...

Bear in mind you’re working with passive, analog hardware. Your ears are way better than a tic mark. IMO You’ll learn more about how to use it, faster that way. (And I say that as an educator who teaches skill acquisition ;) )

Dude, that is also a bitchin silver! I thought “diamond” and “Mercury” were the burst and non-burst using the same paint, at first. Nope. It’s a different, equally cool silver.

It’s an all time favorite color for me, now. Seeing it up close you realize just how unique it is. The sales guys who were working when I ordered it were of similar opinions “oh yeah. That’s the color,” “my favorite Fender scheme,” “What color? Mercury? My man!” Etc

Just wanted to post a photo of my ever evolving rig with my new axe. Fender American Pro II in Mercury up front, 500c+210cab backing it up, location is my shop/practice space.

Would love to join the club! Just wanted to come by and post some photos of my brand new Fender American Professional II in Mercury. Love this color. The black metal flake adds a killer effect. My wife and kids have it to me for my birthday back in January. Pictured on the wall and in my...

Hah! Thanks, I was coming back to sheepishly say I’d found it and provide this link. Way better than the black eBay bridge I have (which is basically a black version of the stock bridge). This one is way better. Thanks!

Which Albridge model is this particular bridge? I’m already trying to find one. On the Albridge website, they aren’t showing one with similar, rounded sides. They all look “straight-sided”

Agreed. I have the Aguilar and JE pre amp and they sound just great. Super pleased.

I went with the same electronics setup and love it! This finally got it sounding like my old 1992 Stingray. Really happy I went through with it

I got mine from Pick Guard Planet, AKA Chandler Music. I’ve got a Ray4 and the post 2006 guard (#35028) fit perfectly around the pickup, neck and all screws lined up. You can see it up thread. I wouldn’t mention that you’re getting it for a “Sterling By Music Man” Ray4. They’ll be obliged to...
