Mustang partscaster

Post by ChrisFFTA » Thu Dec 02, 2010 3:27 pm

I have found a 60s Mustang neck and body (stripped but with shielding)... would it be worth building up a beast? I have some old mini humbuckers, and would just wire it up accordingly...

All i really need are tuners, pickguard, tailpiece and neck plate.

I'll put it in the bridge position/ I use the neck pickup on my Mustang way more than the bridge or the middle position.
The humbucker will make the bridge more usable, I think.
Good luck, and post some pics!
