danelectro Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 When the Squier 51's first came out I though it was a pretty cool looking axe but I could never find one to check out personally because they sold really fast. I waited too long to order one online before long the model was discontinued. Turns out the S-51 was a hot guitar for the modding crowd and I ran across two modded 51's so I decided to jump. I'm pretty excited about these two and hopefully the seller's will ship fast. Sunburst S-51 mods: GFS hot Liverpool bridge pup GFS bridge plate w/Wilkinson saddles Squire Tele pup in neck w/black cover Gotoh tuners gold hardware throughout GFS 3ply 51 pick guard Blonde S-51 mods: - Gretsch Filtertron (ALNICO, not ceramic) in the bridge - Lace Sensor Gold in the neck pos. - "Ian Rich 51" Control Plate ---> Volume and Tone Controls (250K pots + 2 capacitors) + 5-way Lever Switch which works like this: 1) bridge 2) bridge + neck 3) neck 4) bridge +neck + extra capacitor in parallel 5) bridge + extra capacitor. - Massive G&L knobs - Graph Tech Tusq Nut - Custom pickguard - Select one piece neck, very nice, more finish than usual + a little thicker. - Gotoh bridge base with string-through body mount - Grover tuners - Schaller Strap Security Locks Buttons - Gretsch pickup ring - Fender American Standard String Trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
