Those are replacements and they were a little loose and vibrating annoyingly now and then, so I added Teflon tape to the threads to keep them in sync and rattle-free.ĭid you also notice the original case? Sheesh number two. The guitar itself is completely original save the adjuster posts/set-screws for the saddles. It's cuffently wearing 46w-10s and it feels stupidly fast to play. Work on this was for a customer and it got a fret level/dress, electronics spray-out, minor cleaning and adjustments, and some very light compensation adjustment to the saddles (via bending the travel screws a tiny hair). The pickup sounds like you'd expect it - like a burlier Strat pickup due to the shortened scale that makes it a little mellower and "rounder" overall. The Fender Mustang is a solid body electric guitar produced by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. It's even stamped Pedro in the pocket and features the '72 date as well.

The tuners also changed to 'F-keys' with sort of square-ish white plastic pegs.
