1969 competition mustang

Post by toasst » Mon Aug 20, 2018 4:15 am

I've had this one for a few years, but I realised I never posted it on here. So here goes, It's a 69, repro tuners and the original pickups are long gone. Sadly it's been routed for a third pickup and the control plate has been drilled for two extra switches. Now It's back to somewhat original specs and wiring. Alright, here are some pictures.

It's hard to tell from the pictures but in some places it has more of a golden hue than red.

There's no need to be, your 66 looks perfect with the non matching headstock. A great deal aswell.
