Return of the Mustang
Saw my brother this weekend, and he returned the long lost red Mustang lookalike.
Looks exactly like the 66 Mustang, even had the white cheapo machine heads with exposed gears, until (you remember, Andrew) we changed them for good metal ones with sealed gears. The head has a white Tesco inlay and is red. The neck is laminated.
Once again, the wiring was all screwed up, not sure how that came about, not original pots, and one slider switch is new, so I rewired it according to the diagrams I found on the Web. Now works ok.
The neck is very short, so tuning is critical. I think these guitars were made for kids...
only now they (the Fenders, not the Tesco) are collectors' items.

In order to help with tuning, wind up all the strings on the machine head, this is what BB King is doin
