    Need help locating wiring diagrams

    Good Day! I have a Fender Mustang I amp that was given to me. The previous owner broke the on/off switch and wired the connections with tape. I have purchased a replacement switch and I need a wiring diagram to correctly re-connect the switch. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

    Replacing bridge on a Chinese Starcaster

    Hello Again, I am hoping a picture is worth a 1,000 words. The block itself has room to move. As you can see it isn't off by much. The second picture is with the new trem fitted. The fourth picture is where the old holes are at marked by the toothpicks. With the new trem in place, the old...

    Replacing bridge on a Chinese Starcaster

    Thanks for the advice! The new bridge mounting holes line up, but it won't allow me to use the pre existing holes unless I rout the bridge cavity. That is something I don't really want to do unless it's a last resort. I can go to Michaels or Hobby Lobby and get dowels and either Super Glue or...

    Replacing bridge on a Chinese Starcaster

    Greetings: I've run into a problem with my neighbors Starcaster. It was made in China and in bad shape. So far I have replaced the pick ups, output jack and neck plate. The bridge/trem was all rust so I purchased a new Classic 60's trem/bridge. The bridge fits but the mounting holes (6) are...

    Getting Some Information

    Thanks to everyone for your help. My new problem is the new bridge, a classic 60's that I want to install. Like the new pick guard, the new bridge falls short of the previous bridge holes (Chinese). Any suggestions on the best way to fill the old holes so I can drill new ones. Should I use...

    Getting Some Information

    Here are the pictures as requested. I have a Stew Mac pre assembled pickguard that I may put in if anyone thinks it would do any good. This would make a good project guitar but is it worth getting into? Thanks to all.

    Can this be called a Fender Stratocaster?

    Thanks to all of you for stating your thoughts. I do by the way have all of the documentation stating the fact that all parts were purchased from Fender including the strings. Also the cost of everything. In the end I call it a Fender Stratocaster. My other one I built is a MarvaCaster, S...

    Can this be called a Fender Stratocaster?

    Well after playing Squiers and MIM's and several MIA's. I found that in my advanced age (70), I could have the one guitar that played smooth as silk, sounded like a million dollars and the color and finish I like. I have no plans of ever selling but passing it on to my Son when I leave this...

    Can this be called a Fender Stratocaster?

    Question, I assembled a Strat using all Fender parts. I must say it was cheaper than the Fender mod web site quoted. I installed the pick ups I wanted ( Tex Mex ), Fender locking tuners. The neck is Roasted Maple complete with serial number, Fender logo and the word Stratocaster. So can this...

    Just built 2 guitars from parts

    Every since the Ventures hit National scene, Back in 1968 I wanted to make one. Between Army Career, 3 wives and work, never did it. Having numerous surgeries, I always wondered if I could do it.
