Every time I see this thread, the title reminds me of "I have rocker hair and wanna do it up big".

That Mustang is sexy as all hells either way.

They can help keep you from over-tightening the neck screws, and they somewhat protect the body / finish from neck plate indentations, and help hide any gaps that are caused by indentations, or curved neck plates.
I have never seen this on Fenders I came across from the 70's or 80's, did people normally chuck them? Also did they come on Strats?

My mid 80s MIJ Squier Strat came with one too. So did my 32" scale length mid-80s Squier P-Bass.

It's typical of a lot of MIJ guitars...Ibanez especially comes to mind, I've seen them on MIJ Strats from the 80s too. I think the only point of it is to keep the plate from making an indention in the body if it's screwed down too tight.

Anyway this thing is awesome aside from the pickup rings. WTF? It didn't even get any bids, hah.

I like it. The Abelone, mint guard, and little sapphire are subtle enough and work nicely with the color of the body. Love the Maple neck.

Then the truss rod adjustment on the side...! Cool.

Cheers,
Doug

Isn't that where Warmoth puts the truss rod adjustment for their necks.
Them or Allparts, cant remember now. I bought a Mustang neck off Miek that had the side screw.
it is warmoth, probably the only reason i would consider ordering a neck from them, unless i had all the time in the world to wait for it.
