Mustang ideas
Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2010 6:40 pm
Hi.
My first guitar was a late 60's Mustang, and after selling it awhile back, I've come to miss it. While I liked the guitar overall, there are a lot of little things I'd change. I'm in a position where I can spend a bit of money on a guitar, so I've been thinking about a Mustang project. The intention here is not to recreate a Mustang, but rather to create something awesome that looks like a Mustang but works better for me. Any opinions?
Alder body in Competition Blue (or maybe Surf Green w/ stripes)
Solid rosewood neck with Dunlop 6100 frets, headstock painted to match body
Duncan Quarter Pound bridge pickup, SSL-1 neck pickup
Volume/Tone knobs, 3 way pickup toggle, classic Mustang switches wired to do series/parallel and phase
Classic Mustang tailpiece, either TOM or Mustang bridge
