NGD 1972? Mustang
Well it was actually yesterday, but whatever. I think it's a 72. Seems to be original aside from one tuner, the brass nut, the pickup selector switches, and the bridge pickup. Might be an early DiMarzio? Not 100% certain but it sounds good. The trem has been hardtail'd. I didn't realize the top coat on these could still be nitro that late. The checking looks right and it still has the smell after a little friction.

Still, beautiful Stang with all cool mods.
Dimarzio sds-1 is my fav pickup! Dreamy guitar, perfect for ME!

Looks great! I’m not a fan of brass nuts but otherwise would be very happy to rock that.

Yeah, it’s sexy. I love sunburst on a Mustang.

Dammit what have you done...
I believe i have an old guard here somewhere, and a spare SDS-1 pickup and i might change the looks of my Stang, which is quite modded anyways...

Re: NGD 1972? Mustang
I love it. I always liked the finishes like sunburst, or antigua, or mocha, more on Mustangs than other Fenders. These are some of the only guitars I can think of, where I like the sunburst + pearl guard combo. I'd have to get a new pickup cover for the DiMarzio if it were mine though. The three different colors of plastic would be hard to look at.

Nice! I have a contoured mustang Ash body incoming to pair it with my maple mustang neck and the SDS-1's that once were in my jaguar.

Your mustang is rad, changing it would be a desecration of the natural order of guitar fuckery.
Sell it to me and use the money to buy another instead

Re: NGD 1972? Mustang
First one of these pickups I've been exposed to, but I'm very impressed by it. Hotter and darker than I knew it would be in a really good way.s_mcsleazy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 2:15 pmyeah, i'd rock that. how do you like the dimarzio in the bridge? one of the best sounding strat style pickups i ever played was a dimarzio set in a 70's guild

Re: NGD 1972? Mustang
The appearance threw me off at first too. I decided to leave it as-is because I think these mods were done a LONG time ago and I dig the period-correct thing it has going on.ThePearDream wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 10:34 amI love it.
