Jon Teryuco 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 This Guitar looked just like the one above. A '69 Competition Mustang RI in CAR. Now it's kind of a '72 Custom Jazzstang...or whatever. I'm very pleased with the sound and looks. AV Jazzmaster P90 in the Neck and a Fender Wide-Range in the Bridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HNB 56 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 Nice. Are you able to get the action low enough with the TOM? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redman1401 13 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 From the shots he put up, it looks low. I know on mine, since i used a modern TOM without drilling the body, i can't adjust mine, but since i liked the tension it has, i just shimmed the neck to give it a better angle. maybe he did the same.

Bene Prado 1 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 "Adjunsting the Action for Tune o-matic Bridge in the mustang" Placing a little piece of sandpaper (folded) "inside the neck pocket" You will be able to lower the tension of the strings! string gauge 0.11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redman1401 13 Report post Posted June 16, 2012 The tension will still be tight, just the bridge angle and action are lowered. I like the tention it provides though so its no loss, and the little cardboard pieces work wonders for a shim, did it both to my mustang and jagstang and i love them.

Doug 8 Report post Posted November 5, 2012 Here's my 1965 Mustang. It had been refinished when I bought it...which lowered the price nicely I put white pup covers on but otherwise it's all original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnykazz 13 Report post Posted November 9, 2012 also, does anyone know if you can get different volume knobs without changing out the whole thing. Yes, Fender Japan uses split-shaft pots in the stock Mustangs. You should be able to use any knobs that are made for split-shaft pots. I would look on Stew-Mac because you would be able to return them if they don't fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on how you put them on as well, the ones ment for solid shafts with the set screw can work, i have mustang knobs that have the set screw on my jagstang and im gonna get a set for my mustang since the one on the tone knob was broken by my buddy's ibanez. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's some information I did not know. Thanks, I've honestly never even tried the set screw knobs because I just assumed they wouldn't fit. That gives a lot more knob possibilities.

HNB 56 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 With knobs a big thing to make sure they fit is knowing your size. MIJ are normally 6mm stock. US pots are normally 1/4 inch. Blame the metric system. Putting US knobs on a 6mm pot will have it off center since it is slightly smaller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
