Hi! This is my first post after lurking for a long time.
I recently got one of these, slightly on a whim (first shortscale, first offset, first NEW new guitar I've bought since 1998 or something). I saw one in the guitar shop near my work and probably wouldn't have picked it up if I hadnt read this thread.
Yeah, these are really great for the price: the hardware is all decent, there are a couple of rough patches where the neck meets the headstock but nothing drastic. The pickups are pretty good for the price too, I would have left them on but I had always intended to change them for some P90 types which I have done today. I got some Irongear Alchemists, which I had to do a bit of filing of the pickguard to fit, but it sounds so great now, they suit it really well.
This is a really fun guitar to play. My inner teenager wants to put stickers on it and I really want to find a different coloured pickguard. I've got some tru-oil knocking about so I may see how flamey the neck can get. I'd probably change the saddles and the tuners at some point too...

| Thanks. It was dead easy even for my clumsy fingers. I really dont think I would have picked it up if not for the praise and the cool mods done on here and I cant believe it only cost £115 plus £45 for the pups off ebay! |

Looks good. The single line of pole pieces somehow suits the design better. Looks less crunched together than humbuckers.

So I guess one would need to file the ends of the corners of the pickups holes for something like this, right?

^^ yeah definitely. I don’t have any photos of my mustang currently to share but the pickup routes are rounded.
