MIJ reverse headstock Mustang

Post by Stephen_42 » Mon May 09, 2022 2:11 pm

I just stumbled across this:

https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/ ... ang-revers

Mustang, reverse headstock, toggle switch, angled humbucker in the bridge. It's one of those that fall into the "cool but not for me" category. I've seen nothing about it so thought other people might like a look.

That's pretty cool, wish it had the contoured body though.

Am wondering of the reverse headstock will create any tuning stability issues.

I have a lefty Jag-stang with with a RH neck and a RH Stratocaster restrung for lefty, zero tuning stability issues.
I hate the look of reverse headstock though.

EDITED, missin word

Picture of the lefty-righty Jag-stang? I'd like to see that!

Awesome, but is it me or does that bridge humbucker look a bit further from the bridge than ideal? Like it would compromise some of the bite...

I'm happy they angled the humbucker at least, it makes it look less cheap in a way
