Any lipsticks "for stratocaster" will drop right in. On the cheap side, GFS, up through Duncan and to boutique options like Novak.

The key is to get one on a stratocaster bobbin/size.

24" and lipstick - plink city, which is great if that's what you're looking for.

Yes, because Mustangs are routed just like strats, and lipsticks made for strats are just that.
