SOLD: Squier Bullet Mustang - heavily upgraded

WezV

Modding thread here
https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/173196/wezv-q120-challenge/p1

It started as a Squier Bullet Mustang in Ice Blue with competition stripes.  I managed to keep that original colour by carefully removing the clear layer of original finish.  I then oversprayed this with tinted nitro and aged the guitar.  The neck has been totally refinished in nitro, keeping the original decal in place to look like a vintage waterslide.

I converted it to through body stringing with a Fender Toranado bridge.  It received a 4-ply tort guard  with 2x Mojo Mustang single coils.   I also added a modded style of switching for the mustang look, but easier options.  The switch by the bridge gives N/N+B Parallel/B.   The switch near the neck overrides the other switch to give both pickups in series







Weight is 6lbs

Hard to know how to price this but costs are as follows

Base guitar  £140
Fender Bridge & ferrules £40
Mojo Pickups £120
Switches £15
Plate - £15
TOTAL - £325 in parts.... before labour, finishing and set-up costs

I'm asking £300.    You won't find a better playing new or vintage mustang for anywhere near that price!

Is that a posted price? Last time I asked I remember you're too far from me to make pickup feasible.

I didn't intend it that way, but I guess it can be. I wouldn't be able to post straight away though as I would need to source a box this weekend

I'm in Burton On Trent, smack bang in the middle

That's about 2h30m from me so a bit further out than I'd like. Thanks for considering that option.
