I just recently finished up this parts mustang:
The pictures don't seem to do it justice, the yellow is really vibrant in person!
This is the seconds parts guitar I've done - I think I'm addicted!
I love the look of butterscotch yellow blackguard tele's, and was wanting something with strat pickups, so this was the result!
The parts:
The neck is from musikraft. 10' fretboard radius. Black binding too.
Body and pickguard are warmoth, with an extra hole routed for the middle pickup.
Regular ol' 5-way blade switch, with a stacked pot for tone and vol, along with two 3-way mustang switches for some fun wiring.
First time using a zero glide zero fret nut, which was a breeze to install, and certainly sounds great!
Also first time using the dunlop strap locks, the ones on here are the flush mount ones, which look, feel and work great!
The finish is from wudtone, it's a wipe on finish, and it came out absolutely perfect with the look and feel of the grain coming through the finish exactly how I wanted it. It's their butterscotch finish, with the aged satin top coat.
The tuners are Gotoh H.A.P.M locking, height adjustable tuners, which I must say have to be the best kluson style tuners I've ever used!
Pickups are ToneRider city limits pickups - under black, closed covers to keep the classic mustang look.
I've got a mastery bridge on the way to replace the mustang style bridge. I find that after coming from a tele, I miss the sustain. With the regular mustang style bridge only making body contact via two pinpoints for the height adjustment, it just lacks the sustain I want. Plenty of people seem to complain about the rocking design of offset bridges like these, but this setup has worked perfectly for me in terms of tuning stability, I'm just after more sustain.
