I thought I got out my guitar building wiggles but happened upon a beat up and neglected $60 Squier Mustang Classic Vibes and decided to do it up.
I figured I'd also set it up the way Earnie Bailey did Kurt's Mustangs and put on a Tune-o-Matic bridge, but I found a way to do it without drilling the bushing holes wider or putting tape on the posts. I will detail it later.
It holds tune very nicely, and I will do a playthrough demo video tomorrow.
-Deep Turquoise, Rust-Oleum - main color
-Gloss Spa Blue, Rust-Oleum - racing stripes
-2K clear coat
-Roller Saddle Tune-O-Matic Bridge
-roller string trees
-Custom Decal: https://www.ebay.com/str/guitardecadence
-Aged Pearloid pickguard
-Dual Rail humbucking pickups
-Hardtail Mustang trem mod
-Slight relic job
Before:
After:
If you guys don't want to modify your Mustang body for the Tune-o-Matic bridge, here is the method I used.
Get two M6 Rivet Nuts
And two M6 to M4 Thread Adapters
The M6 rivet nuts fits perfectly into the 8mm wide hole in the Mustang body, and the M4-M6 thread adapter allows you to use the M4 Nashville posts that comes with your TOM. Your M4 Nashville TOM posts will now work nice and clean
