here let me...

The Ferrington guitar is modeled after a Fender Mustang for the most part but features a few important differences. It holds three pickups compared to Mustang’s two. The bridge pickup is a humbucker, while the neck and middle pickups are single coils, with the middle one being angled. They are made by a company called Bartolini, and the humbucker had a coil split – giving Kurt more control over the tone. The guitar was also fitted with a Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge and tuners.

I'm a fan of seeking out first-hand source materials when researching anything.

For that reason, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Danny Ferrington's book. You can buy a used copy on Amazon for $5

https://www.amazon.com/Ferrington-Guita ... 0060168978

It was published in 1992/93, shortly after the Kurt Mustang build was completed and includes a spread of photos and some personal anecdotes. Plus you can check out Danny's other builds.

Kurt's Ferrington guitar also had heart-shaped inlays for fret markers.

Thanks guys sorry I was AFK but this summer the ferrington will be build I unfortunately can not afford Bartolini pickups such as the V88D the noiseless singles so I’m gonna try and use cheap shit for it but it will be wired to spec

So Update on the Ferrington. I have yet to find bartolinis and plus wiring diagrams to wire the Humbucker up. I may or may not be cheap and put a Super Distortion in the Bridge and just use sum cheap Single Coils from a Old Strat
