Some more pics of my freshly modded Mustang with modern TOM bridge, locked tremolo, lowered switches, fully shielded, 500k pots and Duncan JB humbucker .

V005866 Pulled it out of my parents attic. Banged up and in pieces. Will be starting a restoration / customization soon. 50th Anniversary badge. Fiesta Red. Have not decided on pickups quite yet but I'm close. May have it refinished in Lake Placid Blue nitro in the near future, but for now I just want to get this thing running. Will take pics. Other stuff: 1994 Am Standard Strat / 2019 Players neck / 2019 Professional HSS electronics 2004 MIM Cyclone HH 2014 MIM Fender Jazz Bass

It really is amazing that 'the worlds largest guitar manufacturer' can have such inconsistencies between different lines of guitar. You would expect a Sonic Blue Strat to be the same as a Sonic blue Mustang, or Telecaster... but it's just not the case. I guess if anything, it gives their guitars more character. It does make me wonder if at some point someone accidentally used the wrong paint, which is why they have created this new 'Satin Sonic Blue' colour as an excuse to cover up an old mistake

Another thing to add .. if you compare the color of these American Performer guitars on the Fender Site vs Sweetwater... They also look totally different. I give up.

Thanks Al(ex) I'm aware how lighting can effect colours - it's my job. I've included a correctly balanced photo taken with a colour chart for accuracy. It also includes some references. I know these references are not to be trusted! But they are a starting point. My intrigue with the colour of Jag-Stangs is more about why Fender sold these guitars as Sonic Blue, when it bares little resemblance to other Fender guitars which are Sonic Blue. I have seen some photos of Jag-Stangs looking a lot more blue, so I wonder if those photos are just incorrectly balanced, or if there was colour vari

I made a thing, not sure what to call it I stuck Lendy Fralin jazzmaster pickups and a vintage DeArmond pickup taken from a Airline bobcat. Switch is wired like a LP and I left the rhythm circuit in tact. I have a black pickguard and knobs on the way along with a few tweaks and a proper set up I'll be completely in love

Finally a Mustang again, just finished the mods! 🤘 Fender Mustang (Cobain mods) Mustang with TOM bridge and JB installed

Looks very similar to this refinished 1997 Lefty. But with black switches. https://www.jag-stang.com/registry/guitarinfo/1510
