Jake Lane 5 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 That is a damn fine price for perfection Good purchase, if I ever saw one at that price I'd snap it up. It has one small dink that can't be seen,the original owner professionally sanded down the neck to be less glossy.. and it's the best guitar neck I have ever felt.

Doug 8 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 ...the original owner professionally sanded down the neck to be less glossy.. and it's the best guitar neck I have ever felt. Hey Jake. Beautiful guitar, great deal. Congratulations. Hope you're open to a caution which may not be necessary. But since you have such a nice Mustang and obviously will be showing it respect & care... I've heard that when a neck's finish is sanded to reduce stickiness there's some risk that the neck will be prone to warping. I'm not an expert and don't know how much of your finish is gone, but you may consider having an expert Luthier check it our and advise you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug 8 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Nice guitars, nice mods. Never heard of flipping the trem bar. What's the benefit of doin that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Malady 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 thank you, if you open up the bridge and take the springs out and put washers on the posts and flip the trem bar, you disengage the tremolo altogether and the strings come straight through the back (better sustain?) instead of out and around. solves tuning issues on some stangs. i never used the tremolo myself, so i figured this would be a good thing to do.

(neck pup switch is a pup selector, bridge pup switch is: hum series-coil shunt-hum parallel Nice guitars dude. I was interested by the Dually Red-Silver when I built my cyclone-mustang geetar. Can you tell me more about this pickup ? The way you're using it is not Red-Silver-both right ? If it's not did you ever tried this configuration ? I'm not sure because I don't really get the meaning of every technical terms in English... For instance what does coil shunt mean ? Sorry for all the questions, the bad English and the lack of knowledge... Hope you can enlighten me. Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mustang222 1 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Well I know people are gonna think i'm an idiot for buying one of these, but it was the cheapest Mustang on Ebay.. I got it for $350. wow nice steal man! yup. good buy. sonic blue or daphne blue i need an awnser it will help me more than we could think Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Malady 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 thank you mayajag, the lace dually is not working out very well right now. i messed up the wiring and am waiting on a new soldering iron before i can fix it. that pickup has given me alot of trouble with wiring it. coil shunt just refers to turning off one of the coils and using just one single coil. some call it coil split or coil tap, but those are actually different things. when i do get it working it will either be wired like i said before which is: red-silver series/ silver alone/ red-silver parallel. OR: red/ red-silver/ silver. i'm not sure which i want to go with yet. so i haven't actually heard the pickup working correctly yet. its been pretty frustrating, haha. i hope i have been clear in my response, if you have any other questions at all, please feel free to ask.

Robbmonster 10 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 sonic blue or daphne blue i need an awnser it will help me more than we could think Sonic Blue, I think. Daphne Blue is a bit more pale. If I'm understanding the question correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn Malady 0 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 sonic blue is the lighter of the two, and under stage lights looks almost white (i.e., kurtdz mustangs) daphne is more of a baby blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
