I just picked up one of these a few days ago off Kijiji. What a wicked guitar, crazy Birdseye maple neck and the neck itself is massive, well feels massive. A pickup upgrade is definitely in the works.I completely rewired this little piece with some Novak Gold Foils. New bridge but still waiting on a pickguard and then she gets loaded with 12's and tuned down a whole step.

Interesting. Given the shorter scale of the Mustang, maybe you only need to tune down a half step to make a set of 12s bendy enough. OTOH, I don't know what your desired degree of bendyness is.I completely rewired this little piece with some Novak Gold Foils.

That sure is a funny looking tele if I've ever seen one.I completely rewired this little piece with some Novak Gold Foils. New bridge but still waiting on a pickguard and then she gets loaded with 12's and tuned down a whole step.

A good bench always has an 'opener at the ready'.
At first glance I thought it was a strat and I was about to faint. But then I saw it was a Mustang. That was a close one.That sure is a funny looking tele if I've ever seen one.![]()
I want to try it but eventually it will go to someone else. Experiments are good but I know what I am and I don't want to ruin the balance in the jam room.That sure is a funny looking tele if I've ever seen one.![]()

you won't be needing to faint anytime soon, I've been passing on Strat deals left and right,. even really good deals on really nice guitars. last time I played a strat I got cooties and hep C, lesson learnedAt first glance I thought it was a strat and I was about to faint. But then I saw it was a Mustang. That was a close one.
tell me more, that looks awesome!Words you'll never hear spoken in the Edmonton area, "help me hide the strats, Vadsy's coming over".
I'm working on a Firebird with a PRS style neck, and a string-thru Fender type bridge.
