Mustang Cosmetic Upgrade

Post by Lucamo »

So, hello.

I want to change the look of my Mustang I recently acquired from DGNR8
Heres a pic:
Image

It is a slightly yellowed Olympic White, not a Vintage white

It, all according to Robroe (when it was asked about in DGN's thread PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ITEM)

made on the same assembly line as the first run jag stang
So I found nothing about that line of Mustangs so I am going to assume it is a 65RI... cause it has a red tort not brown.
----------------------------

Now to suggestions.
White, Black, or White Pearl Pickguard!?

I love them all so I want ShortScales opinion about this.

I also want to change knobs, and was thinking these Purty of somesort chrome bellish ones, or unnumbered Bronco knobs. What do you guys think?

On a side note, where can I even get pickguards that will fit this 65RI?

WOo! Help me decide!

That's not a 65 reissue. 65 reissues are slab bodied and their pickguards aren't cut to meet perfectly with the control plate and bridge to mimic shrunken vintage ones. 69 reissue pickguards should fit the 90's classic series Stangs.

I would leave it as it is. If not do something like this:

Took me 20 mins to find this pic on my computer. Don't know whos guitar it is but oly / mint is a great combo.

Really? You all object to Pearl?

What about Bronco or chrome knobs?

Pearl on white... not sure.. could look cheap or too country.

I would also vote for black witch hats. :D

looks crap IMO. mustang/jag knobs look the best on chrome. I think I would even prefer them on a tele.
