I noodled on one today at 12th Fret. I really liked the scale and the neck. Now..
I used to own a 1964 Mustang. I bought it for $100 back in 1967. It would have been an Olympic white back then, but the finish had been sanded down to the wood. It always fell out of tune. Being a totally retarded teenager at the time, I didn't know what caused it. I now think a new nut and a set of locking tuners would have done the job.
Any way, I proceeded to pervert this thing with a humbucker in the neck and painting it Fluorescent Orange. Hey, it was 1970 MAN! Under a black light and some smoke or hit of acid, it was FAR F(*&%ING OUT!. I eventually sold it to my brother in 1975. Along with a 1957 Tremolux Amp. ( I know.) He still has it today. But it has two HBs, a total rewiring, a coil tap and is very hot. It is no longer Orange. (Thank Gawd !!!!) He sold the Tremolux for a handsome profit, despite it's shot condition.
Getting back to the current Mustang. A pair of stacked SC sized HBs along with the phase change switches would give this thing some really neat sounds.
