sounds like you had a similar issue to what i had. i have noticed the qc on these are basically non existant. rough frets, dry necks. mine had 2 bridge pickups and one of my friends got one with 2 neck pickups. the tuner holes on mine were too big so i replaced the tuners with a old fender set i had and wraped them with a little tape so they would not move about anymore.

all that aside, mine is now a total tone machine
My tuner holes were ok, I imagine different production runs can come out differently, but yes. Sounds familiar.

I have to say your guitar is looking great, the sticker is so punk-rock!. With work these guitars can be awesome. I can't help but love inexpensive modded guitars.

Anyone know if a Fender Duo Sonic neck (Offset or Player Series) will fit on these bodies w/o issues?

The pickguard choice really works I think.
That marine blue pearloid, particularly with a wide bevel, is my favorite choice for the blue Bullet Mustangs.
