Maybe I’m dumb, but who is Jimmie Ray Vaughan?

You’re not. I was dumb and sleepy. It should have just said “Jimmie Vaughan”.

Mint > white in all cases. Love this.

JV comes standard with a 1-ply white pickguard. After a while, I wanted something a bit more classy, so I thought I’d give the 3-ply mint pickguard a try. Kitty cat had to check it out. Let me know what you think!

Edit: trying to remove all evidence of my late night stupidity.

Looks good. What pickup do you have in the bridge?

Thanks! The PU is a Seymour Duncan Lil’ 59er, I believe. I bough the pickup a loooong time ago.

I've been thinking about putting one of those into one my guitars. What kind of stuff do you play on it and do you like it?

I love the pickup. I’ve deinstalled it every time I’ve sold the guitar it was in so I could keep it. You may have noticed I also installed a switch to change it to single coil. It sounds amazing both as a humbucker and as a single coil. I thin my I’ve played every genre you can imagine with it except maybe Jazz and Death Metal and it handled them all quite well. If I can remember, I’ll take a few sound clips with different effects, etc…to give you an idea of how it sounds.

OLY WHT + MINT = a timeless classic. Love it. The tuxedo of the Fender universe. Swapped out the brown tortoise guard on my AM PRO II OLY WHT/ ROSEWOOD Strat for mint on day one.
