About to do this:
HH pickguard
Bare Knuckle The Mule (unpotted) set
Tele half bridge
Concentric pots
I got The Mule set for an SG that I ended up selling. These pickups are supposed to sound good with an Alder body so figured I'd try it with my only Alder guitar. I'm not a fan of the Mustang ...

Wow that maple fingerboard with the pink shell is very nice. Have you thought about swapping the pickup covers?

Well, I got my replacement today and it's 6lbs 15oz. Everything looks good. No flaws. Won't get a chance to set it up until the weekend. Will do a NGD and NBD together with the Mustang PJ bass.

The second one is on its way! The weight is the same 12.7lbs - I hope they aren't sending me the one I returned I wouldn't put it past Musician's Friend.

So I decided to do an exchange with MF, I do want the guitar and seriously I wouldn't be able to get this kind of discount anywhere else - that backstage cash back adds up. I got a 17% coupon from MF in my email today so they applied that. After using the backstage cash it was $130 out of pocket. So ...

I didn't realize the Mexico QC issues were widespread. With Fender I'm usually buying American or Chinese.

I recently I bought a Torino Red Mustang Bass PJ (Mexico) from Sweetwater and it had a crack in the fingerboard so it was sent back. Everything else was fine. I ended up with a Capri Orange ...

I got it. It WAS double boxed. 7lb 3.8oz. The weight is mostly in the body, kinda like a tele. Disappointed in the quality though. The switch causes the output to go in and out. There was a crack in the finish on the neck, there was a black wax pencil mark on the top horn and small black specs in ...

I got the email notice from Sweetwater that they were in stock. I will definitely go that route if the one coming today is too heavy. (edit: guitars already gone at Sweetwater) The key is timing. Looks like Chicago Music Exchange has a couple in stock as well.

Curious, I noticed that one of the ...

It get's here tomorrow before 2:45pm according to UPS so I'll report back once it arrives.

I only wanted this guitar really because it was Shell Pink. I have a shell pink Tele and love the color. I looked at the Duo Sonics and Mustangs on the Sweetwater site to encourage myself that there are more light Mustangs than there are heavy ones and so I took a chance on buying the guitar sight ...

I ordered this Mustang from Musician's Friend and the shipping weight is 12.7lbs, which seems kinda heavy. I was expecting a 6.5-7lb Mustang. Musician's Friend usually ships in manufacturer box, in my experience they don't double-box, so I'd be surprised if the packing material ...
