I fitted it with brass compensated saddles.

It is designed to fit directly onto the Squier Mustang without re-drilling anything.

There is a subtle difference in sound. Slightly more sustain and feels much more stable....
Sweet looking Stang !

I also tinted the neck and fitted it with Grover deluxe Kluson style tuners.

Wow. I'm speechless. This is what I wish Fender released last year in the offset series!

Very cool bridge! Did you design it yourself? I searched the Shapeways website but could not find it for sale.

Going to have to drill some holes. Seems odd that the top right bridge hole is off on the new bridge.

Going to throw a set of these in. No switching, always on.

Think I'm just going to leave it blue.

I asked in the tech/support section but I'll ask here too. If I want to wire both pickups in parallel, no switch, 1 volume.. can I just look at a diagram for 1 pickup 1 volume and just put both hots/grounds where the single pickups hots/grounds would go?

Yeah for parallel both hots go to the volume pot and the grounds go to ground. If you want series, one hot would go to volume and the ground for that pickup would go to the other pickup's hot. The second pickup ground would go to ground.

Really nice looking bridge! Nicely done! Is it just the mounting hole that differs from a regular duo bridge?
