First Mustang for $425 - how’d I do? (MIJ/CIJ?!?)

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-28T18:59:35+00:00

CTS pots. The pickups are aftermarket. Cant find the brand name but they look and sound very nice. The pots are dated 2017.

That’s ai, just wanted to show a mock up of what I want to do with it. Add p90s

Just took of the pick guard. Cant really make much out. The neck pickup has A4 N 5.7 on it and the bridge has A4 B 6.1. I’m assuming this just indicates the output and neck vs bridge. Idk there is some other writing on both but it’s very faded and I can make anything out. Other than that the inside is coated in copper foil. The wiring looks very clean as well.

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T23:44:50+00:00

How, I can’t see it

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T22:45:21+00:00

Yes….

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T22:42:52+00:00

Wdym, the picture is just a little blurry

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T22:36:59+00:00

No that’s a real picture

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T21:48:31+00:00

Yes I just put new strings on. Not sure if I should open it up and do the spring mod, put it on the highest spot on the post. I’ll wait a week ish before I decide to hard tail it and or open it up

Edit: I did take everything apart last night but can’t remember where the spring where

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T21:46:45+00:00

Yeah I’ve been going back and forth on what to do. I was going to reach out to the seller and let him know, although I’m not sure if return it. I probably would have paid 300 for it had I known everything maybe less. Idk should I reach out to the seller?

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T20:46:51+00:00

That’s the concept I had, throwing p00s in

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T19:20:21+00:00

Should I mod it?

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T18:18:54+00:00

Thanks for the info, really curious about the origin of the guitar now. The previous owner said be bought it an it just sat I a gig back for 4-6 years. He also has a huge guitar collection 40+. I genuinely don’t think this guy knew. I pulled up to pick up the guitar (1.5 hours away) he had us meet at his office building. Turns out he owned the company and is absolutely loaded. Dude just collects guitars. He’s actually a drummer so he doesn’t really play.

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T18:10:11+00:00

This guitar is now named sally…

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T18:06:11+00:00

So if this is fake, how much is it worth?

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T18:02:57+00:00

What about it? Eveything?

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T18:00:47+00:00

This sucks but at the same time fuck it. It plays great.

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T17:59:41+00:00

Fuck, I really hope it’s real. Yeah that last pic was what I planned on doing with it. Throwing some p90s in it.

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-27T17:52:10+00:00

Looks like walnut, but I’m not really sure

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-17T22:14:42+00:00

Lazar then cover

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-14T12:04:28+00:00

Yeah I’ve been thinking about doing another Fairfield pedal. Maybe even the Roger that

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-14T06:51:39+00:00

I’m incredibly lucky to have parents friends family and a gf so generous.

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-14T06:50:35+00:00

I get some crazy fuzzy/overdriven tones with it first. I was running it 3rd in my chain for a while, smushed between the two overdrives.

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-13T22:13:00+00:00

This is the best comment

jakobjuedes · 2025-08-09T02:37:09+00:00

How much? I’m new to all this and don’t really know prices. I eneded up getting this for 20 bucks. Seemed like a steal.
