Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
That's probably the first sparkle finish that I like, ordinarily they don't really do much for me but that looks awesome! good work

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
Wow - I really wasn't sure about the body when I saw it sitting there on it's own, but as a complete guitar it looks incredible! Nice work. I'll always love Mustangs.

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
That looks amazing! Have you considered an anodized gold guard though? One of the only suggestions I can think of...it's pretty much perfect!

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
Yeah, this guitar looks great! I like the white. Just the right amount without going overboard.

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
Cool! I was just thinking about this the other day. I remember seeing the initial post about it and wondered if you ever finished building it. I'm glad you got it put together. It looks awesome!

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
One thing people don't often talk about with parts guitars is that it's often important to continue tweaking after the initial build. Guitar was cool on the first try, but now its incredible. I've had some fretwork done, added a new bone nut, Mastery bridge, Patent Pending Trem Unit with original Gold Vibrato piece, and some different knobs. NOW the guitar truly is a killer. Miles above any other Mustang I've played. Sort of iffy before, but now, a real stellar guitar.

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
One of the nicest mustangs I've seen in these parts. That pat pend trem is really something but have to say I think it's the knobs that slay me most; they bring it all together. Where did you find those?

Re: Gold Sparkle Mustang Build
Thank you! I'm pretty proud of it. It's always one of those accidental projects that work out so well. They're from WD Music. They're like harmony repro knobs or something.Supa-Stang wrote:One of the nicest mustangs I've seen in these parts.
