What pickup configuration for Mustang Bullit?

[Benjy_26]

Hello all.

I recently picked up a Squier Mustang Bullit HH and have been looking at swapping out the pickguard. The guy that I found that makes pickguards for these guitars can route it out for different pickup options. What pickup set up would you go with and why?

Thanks in advance.

Lol. Bullit Mustang. Wonder if they planned that...

The slanted humbucker looks cheap to me. I'd rather see a straight humbucker with the appropriate spacing for the bridge. Firebird sounds novel but I'd prefer straight SH. I dislike humbucker tones in the neck though.

F'tron style pickup in the bridge and Goldfoil in the neck. Why? Because it's unusual combo.

I have a pair of TV'trons in a Sheraton, and, while I really dig the sound, I'm looking for something a bit different. I have a SM-1 set, hence the firebird mini option.

Antiquity Mustang in the slanted neck spot and maybe a Screamin Demon or a medium output humbucker in the straight humbucker bridge slot.

Well, that's the ticket then. You already have seriously fine pickup set
