Here is me playing my burgundy mist bodied Squier. Our own Dark Horse did the nitro paint and relicing. I bolted on an old USA made Chandler P neck that somebody had slapped a Fender logo on (not me). Here she is in action from this past weekend' gig:
Did some relicing on my Affinity. Everything original.
How did you do the relicing? I`m getting the VM fretless and wouldn`t mind doing a small relic job on it myself.
Do any of you guys know if a p bass bridge cover will fit over the bridge on the fiesta red CV-P?
why wouldnt it? i dont see why not.
ive stated in earlier posts, not to bash you or anything, but the purpose of this thread is to show off what mods have been done to squiers. there are lots of hardware discussion going around here, but the OP is pretty clear. just trying to stay on topic. thanks for stopping by though.

The cv has a high mass bridge , the cover it comes with is higher to fit, thus i dont think a standard cover will work.
Anyways....
Thank You....!
I thought that was the case. I was just trying to make sure before before i ordered one as i just picked up a fiesta red CV-P...
Tricked out Squiers.....
Thought maybe one of you guys would have a definitive answer...since your actively"tricking" them out....

I thought it was a legitimate question, bigscore, but it's Gord_oh's thread so...

I think his point is that this thread is more of a "beauty pageant" than a "tech thread". In threads like this, things tend to get bogged down quickly if everyone starts getting into the "what parts did you use", and "how did you do this" questions.
There's a "Squier Perfect Fit" mods thread that is designed to answer the tech stuff. It's usually on the first page or two, but I think it has fallen back over the past few days.
Your question was fine, and asking it was fine - Gord Oh was just saying that this isn't the right thread.
So - back to pics of tricked out Squiers
I don't know if I posted this one in the thread or not -
And these are also Squiers....more or less....at least they "started out" as Squiers
This one is becoming the "Squierdowsky"...
Has Sadowsky Humcancelling, has the OBP-3 in it and will also continue getting customized (electronics upgrades, headstock, decal to be done yet)...

I'll take the next #... Now I'm hooked. I just bought this from thedude77md...
It's an AWESOME PLAYER and the tone kills!! I love it.
From thedude:
-Gotoh bridge
-Tonerider pickups
-Stacked controls and plate from a Lakland JO
-Switchcraft jack
-Tortoiseshell pickguard. Edge of both this and the original, included black pickguard have been professionally cut to match the edge of the JO control plate (it is ever so slightly different than the stock Squier one
-Headstock logo decal removed and replaced with a Fender 70's Jazz decal and then clear coat finished over by a professional luthier. He also removed the Made in China or wherever it was stamp on the back of the head.
