Building a "PS Part-nado-stang".. questions.

[Mattsican]

I'm working on getting a PS mustang body on the cheap (CA red.. meh..). I want to put it together using one of the Tornado bridges (i was someone else on here did that mod to a stock PS mustang and it looked deeeeeeecent..). I want to keep the guts more true to a traditional mustang with 2 single coils. I want to have basic volume, tone knobs and two, 2 way switches up top for simple pickup on and off. no phase switching or anything fancy, no toggle switch either. I know one issue im going to run into is finding a pickguard for it. I was thinking either a straight black or some sort of Tort (i love the look of the CA/Tort Jazz basses). Is there anyone i can turn to and say "hey, i need a pickguard for a PS Mustang that has no toggle hole and two single coil pickup slots"? Or do i need to find templates and blah blah blah and go thru the hassle of everything getting one "custom" made? As far as necks would any kind of normal mustang neck i could find work, fit and intonate properly? I'm decent with electronics but im pretty newb at actually putting guits together from parts and i want to make sure that when i get something it is actually going to work. Or at leas ti know what to do to make it work.

surely that's just a standard mustang pickguard then?

any true 24" scale neck will work.

I don't think a regular Stang guard would fit a PS, the bodies and pickguards are different shapes (which once again raises the question of why the sodding hell they'd use that bridge cut-out).

Compare at the lower horn and screw placement.

right enough, i'd forgotten abut that.
