Re: Mustang project?
Got the wiring all sorted and everything's in phase and hum cancelling. It only took 2 tries. It ended up being parchment to hot, yellow and blue to the spin o split, and blue to ground. The pickguard arrives tomorrow and I just have to install that and set it up! 2 1/2 month Mustang project!!The things that you wanted
I bought them for you

Re: Mustang project?
Holy **** son. Everything works, miraculously. I'm blown away with the pups. It sounds like a Mustang from the 60s.
No more friggin guitars after this. I have more toubleshooting to do tomorrow. The baseplate on the stag mag isn't grounded and is contacting the leads on the bottom of the single coils so I'll have to go in and rebuild the stag mag and put tape in between the baseplate and the sc leads then ground the baseplate because it's pretty noisy. Hopefully that helps.Last edited by Clint 55; 03-17-2020, 02:03 AM.The things that you wanted

Re: Mustang project?
It came out so well I'm starting a 2nd one. I'm gonna put a Vintage Jaguar and Red Devil in series in the neck and a JB in the bridge probably with A3. I'm gonna move both pickups towards the bridge. The last one came out with the bridge pickup 2" away from the bridge and sounds really good. It's right on the border between warm and still sounding crunchy. Probably gonna try 1 3/4" or 1 1/2". My strats have their bridge pickups 1 1/4" or 1" away from the bridge. Also lol at people continuing to vote no.Last edited by Clint 55; 03-21-2020, 08:41 AM.The things that you wanted

Re: Mustang project?
The green mustang arrived and I swapped everything else over and put a string thru bridge on it. It's way dialed now. I think the color scheme looks better and the string thru sounds better. Really liking the bridge hum at 2" away from the saddles. It's warm but still crunchy. Instead of sounding like I stuck my dick in a beehive.
Some demo skanks:
A maple neck and tortoise red pickguard are gonna go on the white body with the jag/red devil and jb/dd. Gonna be sweet! I'm liking the mustang the best so far. The strats are nice but too cliche. I'm glad I did this project. The axs are really suiting me.Last edited by Clint 55; 03-27-2020, 07:47 PM.The things that you wanted
